Zakharova reacted with irony to the construction of a fence by Finland on the border with the Russian Federation

After erecting a fence near the border with the Russian Federation, the Finnish authorities need to remember to build toilets in case the "worst phobias" win. This is how the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, reacted on November 25 to reports about the construction of a fence one meter from the Russian-Finnish border.

"Now it is important for the Finnish authorities not to forget to build toilets. If their worst phobias start to take over their minds, that's the only thing they'll need," she told TASS.
