Russian FM Spokeswoman: 'Scary' That Boris Johnson Represents A Nuclear Power

Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson is poisoned with hatred and anger so it is scary that he represents a nuclear power.
Zakharova was commenting on Johnson's earlier statement that compared Russia's hosting of this year's World Cup to the 1936 Olympics in Nazi Germany, RT reported.


“Any such parallels and comparisons between our country, that lost millions of lives in the fight against Nazism, fought with an enemy on its own territory, and then liberated Europe [and Nazi Germany] are absolutely unacceptable,” she said in a statement published on Facebook.

The Russian Ministry Spokeswoman then added that such statements are “unworthy of a head of a European state’s diplomatic service… It is clear that [Johnson] is poisoned with hatred and anger,” she stated, also denouncing his words as “unprofessional” and “rude”.

It is “scary” that “this man is a representative of a nuclear power that bears a special responsibility for its actions in the international arena as well as for the preservation of international peace,” Zakharova stressed.

Now “it is beyond the shadow of a doubt that all London’s actions… were aimed at setting up a spectre of an enemy out of Russia, using any, even the most absurd reasons,” Zakharova said.

She then added that British politicians are now apparently seeking to fully boycott the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Earlier on Wednesday, Johnson once again blatantly accused Russia of being behind the poisoning of the former double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia, as he was being quizzed by the commons foreign affairs committee.

He also said he believes the comparison between the World Cup and the 1936 Olympics “is certainly right” just because the sporting event would somehow “glorify” Russian President Vladimir Putin, from his point of view.
