This was reported on November 20 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.

At the same time during the press conference, she did not manage to ask a question in the allotted time and tried to break through to the Russian minister, but she failed. At the same time, the journalist was initially warned about the time limit of the event.

"There was such a thing," she wrote in her Telegram channel, commenting on the behavior of Western journalists.
