“A real cheapie”: Zakharova scolded Boris Johnson
It’s time for British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to stop spreading provocative fake news about Russia’s imminent “invasion” of Ukraine.
Official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova stated this during a briefing, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“This week we once again witnessed the ongoing information campaign of the West, aimed at promoting the myth of the Russian threat, about the imminent attack of our country, the existing plans allegedly of Moscow, and well, I won’t retell all that nonsense. All this goes against the real situation and common sense, which dictates the need for an early end to Western, especially Anglo-Saxon, hysteria and normalization of the situation.
But all possible means are used. One example is that on February XNUMX, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson posted a video on the official government page on social networks in which he personally tells viewers about Russian troops on the border with Ukraine, and intimidates with “the very real prospects of an imminent Russian invasion,” Zakharova said.
She advised Johnson to take an example from the famous Russophobe, White House press secretary Jen Psaki, and at least temporarily stop spreading provocative fakes about Russia.
“Mr. Johnson, Psaki, as she admitted, has not used such words for a week. Maybe you should also start not using these words for at least a couple of days, and the situation will improve on its own? This usually happens - when you stop using the corresponding prepared phrases, everything immediately becomes quieter, calmer. Stop intimidating everyone, stop spreading fake news and threats.
But the video is remarkable - he threatens new sanctions against our country, all accompanied by a disturbing soundtrack. Some kind of outrageous propaganda, really cheap,” summed up Zakharova.
