Today there was another briefing by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova. Traditionally, the correspondent of The Moscow Post asked...
The first question of the journalist of our publication touched upon the events in Rostov that took place in the country at the end of last week. The embassies and the Consulate General of Russia probably inform the Russian Foreign Ministry about the responses in "their countries" about the events that took place in the Russian Federation.
"Can you, at least in general form, qualify the reaction by continents, regions, or key states of these regions?," The question was asked.
Maria Zakharova drew attention to the statements of Russian President Vladimir Putin and an interview with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
He stressed the fact of numerous calls to the President of Russia from world colleagues who expressed solidarity directly in the day and hours when the events unfolded. They expressed confidence that the situation would be under control and return to the constitutional field, as it happened.
Similar calls went to Sergei Lavrov from his colleagues. Many called the Russian ambassadors - the authorities, public figures, persons historically associated with the Russian Federation, expressed support and received answers to all clarifying questions.
The trend continues. Today, June 28, statements were made by Saudi Arabia, which also supported actions to protect the Russian constitutional field, similar calls are likely to continue. The Russian Foreign Ministry constantly receives both at the official and public levels.
Were there any who gloated? Still how they were! There will always be someone to throw matches into the blazing fire. More about this will be known from an interview with Sergei Lavrov "Channel One."
Another issue was raised by the blocking of railway communication between Russia and Armenia due to the actions of Georgia.
"Yerevan says Abkhazia is the problem. What, in your opinion, are the prospects for resolving this issue?, "The journalist asked.
The representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that Russia is making every effort to implement the planned large-scale roadmap, which includes signed documents at the level of heads of state, commissions, under the auspices of the governments of the countries. On a daily basis, everything is done to implement the project.
In the final, the correspondent of The Moscow Post touched upon the topic of the law adopted in Russia, according to which the country will be called September 3 as the Day of Victory over militaristic Japan and the end of World War II.
"Could this affect the nature of bilateral relations? What is this day officially called in China, the DPRK and the Republic of Korea?, "The journalist asked.
Maria Zakharova noted that she had previously identified this issue in her opening speech. In the DPRK and the Republic of Korea, this holiday is not officially celebrated and is designated as the day of the end of World War II. Instead, the countries celebrate "Renaissance Day," taking place on August 15, which marks the anniversary of Korea's liberation from Japanese colonial rule from 1910-1945.
