Zakharova: Moscow has more questions about the mental health of NATO Secretary General Rutte

The recent statement by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte about Russia and China causes extreme bewilderment and makes us think about his mental health. This was stated at a briefing by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

Rutte, in an interview with The New York Times, expressed the opinion that Russia, in agreement with China, will attack NATO to distract the United States if Chinese President Xi Jinping decides to "attack Taiwan."

"NATO Secretary General Rutte's invention that Chinese President Xi Jinping, as Rutte put it, would allegedly call the Russian president first before an attack on Taiwan, you know, causes us extreme bewilderment, well-founded indignation and big questions about Rutte's health, whether everything is fine with him," the diplomat noted.

"There is really some concern about the mental state of the NATO Secretary General," Zakharova stressed, quoted by TASS.
