Maria Zakharova
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova answered the question about the unprecedentedness of the invitation to Moscow for consultations of the Russian Ambassador to the United States. She told about this on the air of the TV channel “Russia 1”, reports TASS.
“Due to the fact that the atmosphere is already quite emotionally charged, I’ll just say that I don’t remember anything like that,” the representative of the ministry emphasized.
She recalled that we are talking about an invitation to consultations. “We need to be less emotional, in the text [of the Foreign Ministry's statement] everything is said very clearly,” concluded Zakharova.
Earlier, Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov was invited to Moscow for consultations. This decision was made in order to analyze the prospects for relations with Washington.
The Foreign Ministry announced this decision a few hours after US President Joe Biden recounted his conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, during which, he said, he warned his colleague about the inevitability of punishment for meddling in American elections.
