Lut claimed "the United States is the largest country in the world," and Russian media mocked it.

Reference News Network, February 13 report: Russia's TASS on February 12 questioned NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, "incorrectly referring to the United States as the largest country in the world, although the latter's actual territory ranks only fourth in the world."

TASS quoted Rutte's statement at a press conference held in Brussels: "You should know that the United States is the largest country in the world," and said that he does not care about the statements of Russian high-level representatives such as the Foreign Minister.

Regarding this, TASS reported, "The country with the largest territory in the world is Russia, followed by Canada, China, and the United States in order."

TASS also reported on the same day that Maria Zakharova, a spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, commented on Rutte's statement that he did not care about the remarks of Russian officials, saying that Rutte suffers from information fatigue syndrome.

Zakharova said: "This issue of the NATO Secretary General is described in scientific literature as information fatigue syndrome or chronic information exhaustion."

She said that the symptoms of this syndrome include a decline in analytical decision-making and work capacity, attention and memory loss, panic, and irrational behavior. (Translated by Liu Yang)
