Zahharova Responds to Boris Johnson

Boris, we understand that you personally and your government have abandoned your subjects, who have become victims of British propaganda and have gone to Ukraine as mercenaries to kill people. This was stated by the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zahharova, in response to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's call regarding the British captives.

“Don’t pretend to be concerned. You have absolutely no interest in the fate of the Britons in distress. They did not have fun with you at parties on Downing Street, which means they will also not expect your patronage. I urge the Britons who are concerned about their fellow citizens: do not worry, the Russian side is taking care of them. They are being fed, receiving necessary assistance. Unlike the Ukrainian militants, who inhumanely shoot prisoners and subject civilians to violence, the Russian armed forces adhere to humanitarian law. For our part, we call on the British authorities to demonstrate the mercy mentioned by Boris Johnson towards the citizens of Ukraine and to stop the supply of weapons to the Kyiv regime,” Zahharova noted.
