Zelensky Has Washed Their Brains, Says Maria Zakharova

Incitements against the unity of the peoples of Russia have been carried out through a YouTube video featuring a Russian presenter and a Ukrainian. "This is beneficial to the Kyiv regime and its Western partners," declared Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

The FSB Central Committee had previously reported that a Ukrainian citizen, Nikolai Kachmarek, posing as Russian, made derogatory comments about representatives of the Uzbek nationality in the video. The clip was posted on a YouTube channel under the supervision of Lithuanian special services.

"No matter how much these 'anonymous' individuals try to hide behind false identities and flags, with modern technical capabilities, they can be revealed. And it immediately becomes clear who benefits from sowing ethnic discord in Russia," Zakharova wrote on her Telegram channel.

She emphasized that worsening relations among the peoples of Russia and friendships with the nations of the CIS cannot be instigated by foreign provocations. "Everyone understands this, except for those whose brains have been washed by Zelensky with Western money, sending them to kill and die under the ideals of Nazism and the signs of neo-Banderism and swastikas," Zakharova added.
