Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova minced no words in criticizing the West’s policies towards Russia, in comments today to Sputnik radio station.
“The isolation of Russia, announced by the West, has turned into the West’s self-isolation from the rest of the world,” she pointed out. “No matter what happens, and [no matter] how they intimidate others, or what guidelines they send out, or what conditions they set, or how they run after various countries’ presidents and ministers, they are only placing themselves in an increasingly stupid position and pushing themselves deeper into a dead end,” the Russian diplomat emphasized, reported TASS today.
