On attempts to interfere in Russia’s presidential election

Russian MFA Spox Maria Zakharova:

💬 We have been keeping a close eye on attempts to interfere in Russia’s presidential election.

Here is another example of idiocy and audacity. The UK embassy published a post alleging that Russia lacked legal grounds for holding the election in Crimea and the new regions since they all belong to Kiev.

This is the question I have for the UK Embassy: when was the last time your ambassador visited our Foreign Ministry headquarters? Seeing him is hardly a pleasure for us, but unless you stop acting this way, we may need to summon him as a cautionary measure.

We understand London’s hysteria: despite all the Western trickery, the election is proceeding smoothly in Russia and abroad, and the voter turnout has been notably high, according to the Central Election Commission.

Not only did they spoil their virtual ballot with their nonsensical scribblings, but also demonstrated their phantom neo-colonial substance for all to see.

The choice of who to live with is up to the people of Russia, not the slightly delusional British crown.

The people of Crimea made their choice back in 2014, exactly 10 years ago, while the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics, and Kherson and Zaporozhye regions spoke out in 2022.

This clear expression of democracy is something the UK can only dream of. Approval ratings for both the ruling Conservative party and Labour are at a record low among the people of Britain.

The Foreign Office fails to come to terms with the fact that the time when London could decide who owns what is gone, the time when it could draw borders as it pleased based on the divide and rule principle, which has brought about many conflicts we face in today’s world.

This explains their impotent rage and their attempts to incite their puppets from the Kiev regime to target civilians with terrorist attacks, while the embassy openly interferes in domestic affairs.

☝️ My advice to the UK diplomatic service would be to focus on finding a solution to the issue of the Malvinas (Falkland) islands under international law. By the way, has Downing Street already condemned the manipulated photo of a member of the royal household from the Buckingham palace as an example of outrageous misinformation? Have they pointed their finger at Kate Middleton for the whole world to see? Have they found the Skripals? Get back to work, then.
