The spokeperson of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova has described the situation with riots and protests in the United States as "American tragedy". She made this statement during an interview at the Rossiya-1 TV channel, TASS reports.
"There is understanding that we are now witnessing an American tragedy of today," Zakharova noted. "But how can we speak about the United States’ leadership in this area after what we have seen? After police violence, public opinion manipulations via the mass media, exchange of accusations. There can be no questions to others from the United States for years after such turmoil."
The diplomat stressed that the current situation revealed the clear picture of what was really going on in the United States. "They knew what was going on in the country, they knew about the contradictions and gaps but spared no effort to picture the situation in a different way. And continued to teach all others, imposing sanctions under the pretext of defending human rights," Zakharova noted.
