Zakharova called Berbok's chairmanship at the 80th UN General Assembly a disgrace.

The election of former German Foreign Minister Annalena Burbock to the post of Chairman of the 80th anniversary session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) is a disgrace. This was stated on June 5 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, during a round table in the Federation Council.

"It is a shame that in the jubilee year of the victory over fascism and Nazism, a man who said he was proud of his grandfather, who fought in Konigsberg on the side of the Third Reich, took over the post of Chairman of the General Assembly," she said.
