Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin

[ColonelCassad] The British Foreign Secretary told the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry about the need to withdraw Russian armed forces from the Ukrainian border. Sergei Lavrov replied that the military is on the territory of his country. Liz Truss repeated that they should be withdrawn. To this, the Russian minister again objected that the military is not violating anything, since they have the right to conduct any maneuvers on the territory of the Russian Federation.

After that, he himself addressed a question to his British colleague: "Do you recognize the sovereignty of Russia over the Rostov and Voronezh regions?"

"Great Britain will never recognize Russian sovereignty over these regions,” the Foreign Minister replied after a short pause.
British Ambassador to the Russian Federation Deborah Bonnert had to intervene in the situation, who delicately explained to Mrs. Truss that we were really talking about Russian regions.

The British Embassy in Moscow did not comment on the situation.

Recall that during a press conference following the meeting, Sergei Lavrov said he was disappointed with the negotiations and noted that he and his colleague did not hear each other. Liz Truss said that no one undermines Russia's security. She also stated that she considers it necessary to withdraw Russian troops from the border with Ukraine.

Zakharova: The West should not confuse the territories of the Russian Federation and Ukraine, these mistakes can be fatal

[NewsFrontInfo] The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that the West should not confuse the territories of the Russian Federation and Ukraine, since such a mistake could be fatal, she made this statement on the air of the Evening with Vladimir Solovyov program.

This is how the diplomat commented on the mistake of British Foreign Minister Liz Truss, who, answering a question from Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, said that the Rostov and Voronezh regions do not belong to Russia. British Ambassador to Moscow Deborah Bonnert intervened and explained to Truss that they were talking about Russian regions.

Soon the diplomatic mission of the United Kingdom in the Russian Federation published Truss's explanations regarding the sovereignty of the Russian Federation over these areas.

"She commented on it herself, she said that she confused Ukraine with Russia. The main thing is that this simply does not happen again, because they talk about Ukraine so often, and they so often recommend Russia what to do on its territory, that such mistakes can become simply fatal for them," Zakharova said.
