The official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, responded to Latvian Foreign Minister Edgar Rinkevichus's words addressed to her: “I like it – I don't like it, be patient, my beauty. ”
The sparring between the diplomats arose on the topic of borscht, whose cooking culture was included by UNESCO in the list of intangible values of Ukraine.
Maria Zakharova responded by posting on the Telegram channel that borscht was originally mentioned in historical documents as a dish prepared by the Russian residents of Kyiv.
Rinkevičius could not miss this, who addressed Zakharova with the words of Russian President Vladimir Putin, which he said to the leadership of Ukraine in February.
Now Zakharova gave Rinkevičius rather harsh answer: “Edgar, you are not for beauties,” she wrote in the Telegram channel.
And she suggested to the Lithuanian diplomat: “Find a handsome man and let him last.” And I'm not yours.”
And she added the question: “Or is it another coming-out?”.
Now we probably have to wait for an answer from Rinkevicius.
