Zakharova linked the protests in California to the deep crisis in the United States

The protests in California are evidence of internal problems in the United States that have nothing to do with Beijing or Moscow. This was announced on June 11 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

"It's a deep story. There are elections, they don't have elections. People hate each other. And this is not some segment, and this is not some kind of merit that they have been referring to all along. This is not the hand of the Kremlin or the machinations of Beijing," Zakharova said on Sputnik radio.

The representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry also stressed that this is an internal problem of the United States, when "one half of the country hates the other."
