Zakharova declared the prostration of European leaders after Trump's return

The leaders of the European Union (EU) are losing ground under their feet after Donald's return Trump for the presidency USA. This was announced on March 5 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

"And these Western European leaders, officials — they are now in absolute prostration, because the ground is slipping from under their feet. That's how they stood on the basis of American liberalism, which marched across the planet, generously paying for this entire ideological anti—world," she said on the radio Sputnik.

Zakharova also stressed that that the political rhetoric in Washington has changed with the advent of the new government. In her opinion, Western European leaders will either have to leave or admit their mistakes.

In addition, the diplomat added that there should be a person in Europe who can point out that they are wrong.
