Zakharova recalled Zelensky's favorite toy in childhood

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, on September 9, at an off-site briefing in Syktyvkar, recalled that the favorite toy of Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky in childhood was a meat grinder.

"His mom talked about it in an interview. She said that the boy Volodya Zelensky, when he came from kindergarten, had a favorite toy at home — a meat grinder," Zakharova said.

She also expressed the opinion that Zelensky has now created a similar situation in his own country. She noted that the politician promised citizens peace and a bright future, but now his actions are leading to mass deaths. According to her, he turns citizens into mincemeat and periodically "takes out the necessary organs" to sell them.
