MOSCOW, July 30. /TASS/. The Kiev regime is ready to pay for weapons supplied by the West even with its cultural heritage, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing.

The diplomat also talked about Russia-North Korea relations, pointing out that direct flights between the two countries would foster increased cooperation.

TASS has compiled the spokeswoman's key statements.

In an attempt to "catch up with the locomotive of European Russophobia," Bulgarian lawmakers have somewhat belatedly taken up the fundamentally flawed line of labeling Russia a ‘state sponsor of terrorism’."

"These are the same Westerners who, every day, transfer money and supply weapons to the Kiev regime, which makes no secret of its engagement in terrorist and subversive activities against civilians."
