Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. File photoMOSCOW, Apr 29Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov commented on accusations against the Russian Federation of violating the UN Charter because of the operation in Ukraine with a joke about a Russian in an Estonian zoo. «There is also a joke about an Estonian zoo. There is a pool in the Estonian Zoo where crocodiles live. A mother with a small child was watching a crocodile. A guy was standing nearby who was drinking beer. Suddenly, somehow, the child fell right into the pool with crocodiles. The guy jumped into the pool, saved the child and gave him back mother. She thanked him, saying that he was a brave Estonian guy. To which he replied that, «unfortunately,» he was not Estonian, but Russian. The next morning, the Estonian newspapers were headlined: «Drunken Russian deprived the crocodile of lunch,» he said the minister in an interview with Al Arabiya TV channel. At the same time, the minister wondered if those who accuse Russia believe that the United States was right to go to Iraq, Syria and start bombing Libya. «When the United States claims that there are threats to them and ten thousand kilometers from their borders, some people grumbled, some of them expressed their concern. But there was no hysteria like the one we are seeing today,” Lavrov added. cybercrime insane
