Zakharova found signs of "Russophrenia" in the Polish Foreign Minister

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has identified Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski as having "Russophrenia." The diplomat stated this at a briefing on September 9.

"Back in 2015, Irish journalist Brian McDonald called such statements Russophrenia. I think this fully suits Sikorsky. I think Sikorsky has Russophrenia," Zakharova commented on Sikorsky's statements about the need for restrictions for Russians.

The diplomat noted that the disorder described by the Irish journalist, "in which those suffering from it get the impression that Russia is about to fall apart, it's worth pushing it a little more, and at the same time that tomorrow it will roll all over Europe," is peculiar not only to "some areas of Brussels, London and Paris", but also to political figures in Warsaw.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry also stressed that Sikorsky speaks "in a Russophobic, neo-Nazi way," recalling the politician's reaction to the bombing of Nord Stream and the provocation at Leipzig airport. In addition, Zakharova recalled that the principle of reciprocity in international relations applies in diplomacy.

Warsaw explains this by preparing for a possible confrontation with Russia.

Zakharova said on August 12 that those who justify Nazism and the associates of the Third Reich should not be considered people in Poland. She noted that after the Second World War, the Soviet Union primarily helped Poland, despite its own losses. Zakharova stressed that she considers unacceptable the negative assessments by Polish representatives of a country that supported Poland at that time.

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said on August 28 that European countries should resist the temptation to enter into premature negotiations with Russia to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.
