The Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the UN, Serhiy Kyslytsia, joked about the spokeswoman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Maria Zakharova, who was angered by the proposal of Ukrainians to rename Russia to Muscovy.
The diplomat advised his "colleagues" to learn the Ukrainian language instead of tantrums, and at the same time to pay attention to the fact that China is also returning the historical names of Russian territories and settlements. The Ukrainian reacted to Zakharova's remark in his Twitter account.
He reminded that recently a petition for a different official name for the Russian Federation received more than 25,000 signatures and President Volodymyr Zelenskyі instructed Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal to work on this issue.
"In response, the presalkashe Lavrova lashed out in her Telegram channel about "attempts to create anti-Russia from Ukraine," Kyslytsia wrote.
Meanwhile, as the Ukrainian pointed out, the "boundless partnership" between Moscow and Beijing has erased borders. Officials of the People's Republic of China issued a document in which they decided to use historical Chinese names for a number of Russian territories:
1) Vladivostok – Haishenway;
2) Ussuriysk - Shuangchenzi;
3) Khabarovsk – Boli;
4) Blagoveshchensk – Hailanbao;
5) Sakhalin Island - Cuedao;
6) Nerchinsk - Nibuchu;
7) Nikolaevsk – Miaotze;
8) the Stanovoy – Vaysinanlin ridge.
"So what, Masha and the bear? "Anti-Russia" you say? The Ussuri bear turned out to be a panda," Kislytsia joked.
He noted that the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry knows Chinese and defended her dissertation on the People's Republic of China, so she will read Chinese orders and maps.
"But the time has come to learn Ukrainian... and to learn to pronounce historical names correctly," concluded the deputy ambassador.
