BASAKI: We have taken action against Russia such as those imposed on state sponsors of terrorism

White House Press Secretary Jane Psaki confirmed that the United States has taken the same measures against Russia as against the state sponsors of terrorism.

"We are talking about large-scale financial sanctions, export control measures, as well as diplomatic action to limit investment from other countries," she said.

• Psaki has not recently ruled out the possibility of including Russia in the list of State sponsors of terrorism.

• "Three countries are currently on the list, namely North Korea, Iran and the Sudan."

• For her part, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova described the American idea as "a beating of foolishness."

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova accused the Israeli government of supporting neo-Nazis in Kiev.

The Russian Foreign Affairs spokeswoman criticized the Israeli Foreign Minister's remarks, saying, "We have paid attention to anti-historical statements by Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, which largely explain the current Israeli government's approach in support of the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev."

She added in a statement Tuesday: "For some reason, the Western press (and some Liberaleena) are still arguing over whether there are new Nazis in Ukraine. As one of the concrete arguments, they cite Vladimir Zelensky's Jewish origin. The argument is not only unacceptable, but also malicious. unfortunately, history has witnessed tragic examples of cooperation between Jews and Nazis ".

Zakharova continued: "In Poland and other countries in Eastern Europe, industrial Germans have designated Jews as heads of ghetto and Jewish councils, some of whom are remembered for their very brutal acts."

As an example, the Russian foreign spokeswoman said, "in Warsaw, Jacob Leakin (Jew) monitored Jews and informed the German occupation administration of everything, sentenced his citizens to a certain, sometimes painful death, and offered Haim Romkowski (Jew) generally to Lodz Jews to give their children to Nazis in exchange for saving the lives of Jewish adults."

Zakharova explained that the Jewish origin of the Ukrainian President is not a guarantee of protection against the outbreak of neo-Nazism in Ukraine, adding that "Ukraine is not the only one like this now. Latvia's President, Eglis Levitz, also has Jewish roots. He is also "successfully" covering up the rehabilitation of Faven SS (Waffen SS), the military wing of the Nazi Party) in his country.

Zakharova asked how the Israeli Foreign Minister "Lapid and his Government do not see this. They also cynically ignore the epidemic of destruction and desecration of monuments of real good people in the world, the soldiers of the Red Army who stopped the Holocaust and saved the Jewish world. "

The Russian foreign spokeswoman's statement in her Telegram channel commented on the statements made by Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, who described the Russian minister's interview as a "share of political propaganda."

• Zakharova wrote: "I want the citizens of Italy to know the truth. because Italian politicians mislead their audience.

•  Propaganda is something that is published at the speaker's initiative. such as declarations ".

• Zakharova explained that the initiative to interview Lavrov came from Italian journalists.

•  not from the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, saying: 

• "The initiative to interview came not from the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

but from Italian journalists. We received hundreds of requests for interviews with Sergei Lavrov, ministry representatives and embassies. 

Italian journalists insisted and said they wanted to show all views. What is their problem? "

The Russian side had not made any adjustments to the final version of the interview, saying that "the questions posed by the presenter had been drafted by himself. we have made no adjustments to the questions or to the final version of the interview ".

On May 1, the Italian television channel "Rete 4" aired an interview with the Russian Foreign Minister, during which Lavrov explained the main positions of the Federal Russia regarding what is happening in Ukraine, noting that the Ukrainian side, with the support of the United States, "seeks to resolve all issues alone" and does not want to continue negotiations.

Lavrov also referred to false information published by Western media about what was happening in Ukraine.

Lavrov criticized Rome's surprising position in Moscow, saying it was strange to see how Rome ended up "at the forefront of those who are not only taking anti-Russian sanctions, but also putting forward initiatives (in this direction) in every possible way."

In addition, Lavrov spoke about the Jewish roots of Ukraine's President Vladimir Zelensky and Adolf Hitler, and about anti-Semitism.
