Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova replied on Sunday to the latest ‘Russian invasion’ claim made by the UK foreign secretary. Speaking to the Mail on Sunday, Liz Truss said that Russia would not be satisfied once it invaded Ukraine, but rather would shift its focus to the Baltic states and even the western Balkans.
According to the UK’s top diplomat, President Vladimir Putin “wants to turn the clock back to the mid-1990s or even before then.” Truss stressed that “it’s so important that we and our allies stand up to Putin,” because, in her view, “it could be Ukraine next week but then which country will it be next?”
Zakharova gave a tongue-in-cheek response to the allegations on Telegram, writing that Truss “has nailed our insidious plans to invade the Kaliningrad region,” referring to the Russian enclave on the Baltic coast.
