MOSCOW, December 11. /TASS/. Vladimir Zelensky cannot win re-election fairly, so he plans to game Europeans to help him. The detention of Russian scientist Alexander Butyagin in Poland is politically motivated, and is legally unjustifiable, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova said.
She also highlighted that Britain had for the first time acknowledged that one of its own had died fighting for Ukraine, even though in truth, he was far from the first to fall there.
TASS has compiled key statements by the official representative of the Foreign Ministry.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will hold a meeting of the Council of heads of Russia’s constituent entities under the Foreign Ministry on December 16.
The detention of Russian scientist Alexander Butyagin in Poland is an "exclusively political provocation": "He is guilty, to quote directly from what was published, of ‘destroying cultural heritage.’"
