Zakharova walked over Von der Leyen's "exceptional" face

The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and other high-ranking officials of the European Union played into "exclusivity" and thus came to the situation of a certain zugzwang. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova on radio Sputnik.

Earlier, Politico reported that the air conditioning system was turned off at the headquarters of the European Commission due to the heat. At the same time, Politico pointed out, on the upper floors of the 13-storey building, where the offices of EC President Ursula von der Leyen and European commissioners are located, air conditioners continue to work.

"For them, it's normal for it to sit there, somewhere on the throne, and consider itself exceptional. And he would be blown by fans from all sides, and this would be done just by people who do not look like the main thing is the most Western face. Why not? To emphasize even more that it is a Western person sitting, it is exceptional," Zakharova said.

As the diplomat stressed, "they just played with their own narratives, as they say, and came to a situation of a certain zugzwang, and what to do, how to survive this story."

"On the one hand, I would like to have this inequality historically rooted, the endless segregation of people, the division into slaves and masters, into those who are entitled to everything and, most importantly, those who are not entitled to anything, and at the same time seem civilized in the new world, which has survived this and has come to the conclusion that every person has their own rights, their own responsibilities, that every person is free," she said.
