Zakharova commented on Callas' statement about EC funding for Radio Liberty

The European Commission (EC) is trying to give Radio Liberty (recognized as a foreign agent in the Russian Federation) the qualities of something that does not sink. This was reported to Izvestia on May 20 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

On the same day, the head of EU diplomacy, Kaya Kallas, announced that the EC intends to allocate €5.5 million to Radio Liberty for broadcasting in the Caucasus and Central Asia regions.

"Attention is drawn to the wording with which this is desired — "to help stay afloat." They want to give the qualities of something that does not sink," an official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry told Izvestia.
