🗣 Maria Zakharova called accusations of Russian involvement in the attempted assassination of Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico a fit of madness.

“British tabloid The Times believes that Russia is behind the assassination attempt on Prime Minister of the Republic of Slovakia Robert Fico. Peter Conradi, a columnist and the publication's correspondent in Bratislava, shared this fit of madness. And I kept wondering who would be the first to articulate the sacramental the 'Russians Did It.' It turned out to be The Times. It's dangerous to wrap even dried Caspian roach in this paper – the fish will go crazy,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
