SOT, Maria Zakharova, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson (Russian): “We call for NATO countries to immediately stop whipping up hysteria around the internal Ukrainian conflict and cease military supplies and support for Kiev as one of the conflicting parties in the East of Ukraine. We hope that the Ukrainian authorities will stop ‘dancing blindly to the tune’ of their NATO mentors, because this is not a path to a cliff, but off a cliff. Kiev needs to show independence and start a full-fledged dialogue with Donetsk and Luhansk in order to find a peaceful solution to the conflict as soon as possible, as provided by the approved UN Security Council Resolution 2202 “The Package of Measures for the Implementation of the Minsk Agreements.”

SOT, Maria Zakharova, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson (Russian): “Probably due to the fact that the head of the British Foreign Office Elizabeth Truss recently did not rule out the possibility of imposing sanctions against the Russian media. She spoke about Russian citizens and about Russian business as well. If measures against Russian journalists are taken, you know, we can respond. We were taught how to do so. We have never done this before. We created all the necessary conditions for the work of foreign journalists here, showed cooperation, openness and absolute adherence to the spirit and the letter of the law.”

SOT, Maria Zakharova, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson (Russian): “During the last few days four countries: the USA, Germany, France and Great Britain declared a real war on the Russian TV channel RT. What is it? Is it a coincidence, coincident in time? This is a planned action. What is it for? In order to promote their own Anglo-Saxon theses in the information space, these manuals, and not to provide an opportunity for the distribution of counter-arguments and the positions of other parties.”

SOT, Maria Zakharova, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson (Russian): “We look forward to an impartial, fair and transparent handling of this case, I mean of those events taking place in Paris, and we urge the French authorities to take all appropriate measures to ensure a normal working environment for RT France.”

SOT, Maria Zakharova, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson (Russian): “The alliance has made it clear that its top priority is containment of Russia in all directions and azimuths. How is it so? We talked about it already: this position is shown not only by NATO but also by the European Union. They say: “Let’s talk but we will be hindering you.”

SOT, Maria Zakharova, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson (Russian): “In accordance with the decisions taken, we informed Deutsche Welle office about its closure starting from February 4, 2022. We also sent a notification about the necessity for the employees to pass their accreditations during the day. I saw the information and we were also asked whether it means that they [DW employees] should leave [the country]. Well, I think you don’t quite understand what we are talking about because in this office there are about 19 employees and 16 of them are Russian citizens. Even when we talk about three foreign citizens, citizens of another country who work in this office, in this case the pass of accreditation doesn’t mean that they should go somewhere.”

SOT, Maria Zakharova, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson (Russian): “If Germany decides to escalate, our answer will be the same. If Germany decides to normalise the situation, we are also ready to normalise the situation. I mean, we are also ready to normalise this situation as well.”

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated that the US, Germany, France and the UK have declared war on Russia Today TV channel, speaking at a briefing on Friday in Moscow.

“During the last few days four countries: the USA, Germany, France and Great Britain declared a real war on the Russian TV channel RT. What is it? Is it a coincidence, coincident in time? This is a planned action. What is it for? In order to promote their own Anglo-Saxon theses in the information space, these manuals, and not to provide an opportunity for the distribution of counter-arguments and the positions of other parties,” the spokeswoman said.

According to Zakharova, Russia will act in a mirror manner over the situation with RT DE.

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry ordered the closure of Deutsche Welle’s (DW) broadcasting in the country and the withdrawal of accreditations from all staff members. However, according to Zakharova’s statement, this does not mean that the correspondents should leave the country.
