Zakharova accused Austria's foreign minister of lying after words about the conflict in Ukraine

Austrian Foreign Minister Aleksander Schallenberg's words about the "thousand-year" Ukrainian conflict are false. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said this in her Telegram channel on 20 November.

Thus she commented on the video of Schallenberg's speech, during which he said that the conflict in Ukraine lasts "exactly one thousand years".

"Lies more, lies less - everyone is used to it," - stated in the message.

Kiev's allies attract defeat, and Ukrainians want an end to the conflict. What the media say

Earlier, on November 19, in Britain on the occasion of "one thousand days since the beginning of the SWO" said about "strategic defeat of Russia". The Russian Embassy in Britain said that these statements were not true and added that the London leadership should think about the consequences of "pushing the world to a dangerous line."

The special operation to protect Donbass, which Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24, 2022, is still ongoing. The decision was taken against the backdrop of the aggravated situation in the region.
