Maria Zakharova.
Baku/29.12.22/Turan: Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova responded to Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's accusations today about inactivity of Russian peacekeepers in Karabakh.
Speaking at a Foreign Ministry briefing, Zakharova called the criticism unacceptable. "Russian peacekeepers are doing their best to resolve the situation on the ground. No public attacks help the cause. There have been worse situations. We are working so that this situation can be improved. You can talk as much as you like about raising efficiency and so on. Everyone is working to resolve this situation now. But to say and state such things is simply not to understand the current realities," she said. -02D-
