Russia: Johnson has been poisoned with hatred

moscow - British Secretary of State Boris Johnson has been poisoned with hatred and anger. That said the Russian spokesman for the Foreign Ministry Wednesday, adding that she finds it frightening that he represents a nuclear power.

On her social media page, Maria Zacharova responded to comments made earlier by Johnson that Russia is abusing this year's World Cup as Adolf Hitler did with the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. Zacharova called the comparison of Russia with Hitler's Germany 'unacceptable'.

'Such parallels are unacceptable and are under the dignity of the head of a diplomatic body of a European state,' she said on her Facebook page.
