Ukraine exhibiting 'classic terrorist behavior' - Russian Foreign Ministry | 5 May 2025 | Ukraine is exploiting peace negotiations in order to extract funds from its Western backers and promote extremism, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said. She made the remarks after Ukrainian presidential chief of staff Andrey Yermak reposted a stylized image of Vladimir Zelensky looking at the iconic Kremlin wall engulfed in flames.
"Nicely drawn," Yermak wrote under the image, which was captioned with a line from a famous Soviet World War II-era song: "We have done everything we could to bring this day closer." "Talks of a truce from the Kiev regime are a mockery of the efforts made by those who truly seek peace. Their real goal is to exploit the West, spread fear, kill, promote neo-Nazi ideology, and operate in a legal vacuum -- classic terrorist behavior," Zakharova told Russian broadcaster TVC on Sunday.
