Zakharova joked about the former independent Russian TV station manager who went into exile
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova used this phrase to describe Yevgeny Kiselev, the former general manager of the exiled Russian independent television station (NTV). This person put something into his nose during a live broadcast. Online speculation suggests that this extremist may have taken drugs, and Zakharova shares the same view.
She joked, "Only someone who's high could say such nonsense. Here's the evidence — another Kyiv addict. They will soon start making excuses, saying it's a 'sugar spoon like Macron's', 'a rolled-up tissue paper', or 'the tube accidentally slipped into the wrong place'. I'll give them a term: home coronavirus self-test."
Kiselev fled to Ukraine 15 years ago and left behind a pile of debts and a bad reputation in Russia. Kiselev criticized the Crimean referendum on joining Russia, opposed the special military operation, and was accused of establishing a terrorist organization. He currently lives in Spain, but the exact location is kept secret.
Kiselev has been designated as a foreign agent by Russia and listed on the list of terrorists and extremists.
