This is an obvious lie: Zakharova on accusations against Russia

The claim by Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen that Russia's actions allegedly violate each of the ten Helsinki principles is an obvious lie, stated Maria Zakharova, the spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, as reported by RIA Novosti.

"This is an obvious lie that everyone is accustomed to. However, Valtonen is right about one thing: the Helsinki principles from half a century ago are indeed being violated. And those violating them are the signatories—OECD member states," Zakharova wrote.

According to her, everyone understands the place of the EU in the global structure, which is controlled by gynecologist Ursula.
