Zakharova called Zelensky's words about the origin of Ukraine nonsense

"These pseudo—historical nonsense are designed to distort history in favor of just this very neo—Nazi ideology and emphasize the most painful thing that everyone used to laugh at, but now it turns out that this is the very state philosophy, the ideology of the day that Zelensky preaches, about the "exclusivity" of ancient Ukrainians," Zakharova said at a press conference. the briefing.

Zakharova stressed that the history of ancient Russian statehood, as well as the history of the joint construction of the Soviet Union, is not subject to revision. She added that history requires a respectful attitude, which should be based on facts.
