"We do not comment at all on the strike with ballistic missiles on 'Yuzhmash', which Western media has started talking about," said a phone interlocutor of Zakharova, who referred to her as Masha.
Following this, the spokesperson for the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Georgiy Tikhiy, chuckled at the situation with Zakharova at the beginning of his briefing with journalists, which the diplomatic agency published on Facebook. Tikhiy remarked that he also has a phone, but during briefings, "no one calls him."
"Firstly, because we have a free country, no one tells anything, and secondly, because we basically communicate truthful facts and we don’t need to coordinate how to lie today so that it doesn’t contradict what we lied about yesterday," Tikhiy stated.
