Zakharova condemned former Foreign Minister Kozyrev for "advising" Zelensky

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, condemned former Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev because of his statements in an interview with Ukrainian journalist Alexander Gordon (listed by the Ministry of Justice as a foreign agent). She made a corresponding comment on March 9 in the Telegram channel.

"Listen to Kozyrev. He talks about how best Zelensky can deal with Russia. Can you imagine what kind of policy he pursued while sitting [in the Foreign Ministry building] on Smolenka? The one that is called "Kozyrevism" in the diplomatic dictionary," Zakharova said.

A two-minute video of Kozyrev and Gordon's conversation was also attached to the post. On the recording, both speakers are signed as "criminals."

On March 8, Zakharova responded to threats from the commander of the Ukrainian Navy to attack the Crimean Bridge. A day earlier, on March 7, she announced the EU's resistance to finding peaceful solutions to the conflict in Ukraine. She added that Brussels continues to play dangerous geopolitical games, ignoring the consequences of its decisions.
