Maria Zakharova considers Ukrainian borscht to be an example of xenophobia, Nazism, and extremism. “They wanted borscht to belong to one nation so that the housewives could not prepare it in their own way,” Maria Zakharova, the spokeswoman of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said during the official press conference.
As reported by Inna Pohribna for apostrophe.ua:
“It’s all connected with ethnicity and culture in the first place. Even cookbooks were banned. Why? Because they couldn’t share borscht. No, they couldn’t. It had to belong only to one country. Only the chosen people, the one nationality,” said the Russian MFA.
According to the public opinions retrieved from Twitter, she also seemed to be drunk during her speech.
Maria Zakharova is the Director of the Information and Press Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. The Russian-Ukrainian war – or the Borscht war – going as planned. “Significant de-borschtification is observed.”

Been busy this evening but just dropped in to see what faeci taurorum is on the agenda at the Russian Embassy.
Same old tripe…boring.
Sounds if Maria Zakharova had one too many and went overboard. She sounds ready for the lunatic asylum.

Maria Zakharova, Russia’s director of information and press department for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, says Ukraine had banned cookbooks to prevent the recipe for borscht being shared. Also, I think she’s been drinking. https://t.co/PK97D7hDpx
