Maria Zakharova was marked with a cynical statement.
The press secretary of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, reacted cynically to the fact that the Russian delegation was not invited to farewell ceremony for Elizabeth II.
Zakharova is quoted on the official website of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
“We consider this British attempt to use the national tragedy, which has touched the hearts of millions of people around the world, deeply immoral, for the geopolitical purpose of settling scores with our country during the days of mourning,” Zakharova said.
He went on to praise Elizabeth II for fighting against Nazism. But Zakharova mistakenly added Bandera and Shukhevych to the ranks of the Nazis.
“This is particularly blasphemous to the memory of Elizabeth II, who, as you know, served during the Second World War in the territorial defense ranks of the British armed forces who fought against the Nazis and their Ukrainian accomplices – Stepan Bandera and Roman Shukhevych”, the official from the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
As previously reported by UNIAN, on September 8, at the age of 96, in the Scottish castle of Balmoral Queen Elizabeth II dies. After the monarch’s death, a ten-day mourning began in the country.
The next day the new king of Great Britain Charles III spoke with the first television address to the nation, in which he spoke of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, and also promised to continue his journey.
A September 10th Charles III was formally proclaimed King of Great Britain in a historic ceremony at St. James’s Palace.
