Readers of the Chinese portal Guancha commented on the news that the British Foreign Minister Liz Truss made a reservation at the talks in Moscow. Recall that at a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Truss mistakenly attributed the Rostov and Voronezh regions to Ukrainian territories and stated that the UK would never recognize them as Russian.
“The British Foreign Minister looked very unprofessional. Is it necessary to continue to pose as a “great empire” when Britain has reached such a level?” wrote one of the users.
“It shows the “professionalism” of Western politicians, I am very glad that these brainless people are running their countries,” another subscriber replied.
“She doesn’t understand anything, only has a beautiful appearance to look good in the photo. And to work well is no longer in her power,” suggested a reader with the nickname Two Stripes.
“She had to ask her secretary about it. Then there would not be such a shameful mistake,” wrote user Ray.
“Ignorance is power”. George Orwell,” said a user with the nickname City Swordsman with a double flag.
Many also suggested what Lavrov might have thought after hearing such a statement.
“Lavrov: I have seen many naive and stupid people in the diplomatic field, but you are the first one who split Russia right in front of my eyes,” “Lavrov was stunned,” “Lavrov: “Call your secretary, I will talk to him, and he will tell you,” the users wrote.
Recall, during a press conference following the meeting, Lavrov said that the conversation with Truss resembled a conversation between a “mute and a deaf person.” To this, the British minister replied that she was definitely not “dumb” and clearly outlined London’s position on the situation in Ukraine.
