Russia says outgoing PM Truss was a ‘catastrophically illiterate’ disgrace
Russia’s foreign minry on Thursday welcomed the departure of British Prime Miner Liz Truss, saying she was a disgrace of a leader who would be remembered for her “catastrophic illiteracy”.
“Britain has never known such a disgrace of a prime miner,” Foreign Minry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
The claim of illiteracy appears to refer to Truss’ visit to Moscow shortly before Russia invaded Ukraine while she was British foreign miner.
In a meeting with Russia’s veteran foreign miner, Sergei Lavrov, she appeared to confuse two regions of Russia with Ukraine, triggering mockery the Russian diplomat and across talk shows on Russian state TV.
