State Duma deputy Mikhail Sheremet. Archive photoSIMFEROPOL, June 6State Duma deputy from the Crimean region Mikhail Sheremet, commenting on the situation with the closure of airspace by Serbia's neighboring states for the flight of the aircraft of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, said that Western countries with their anti-Russian policy are increasingly reminiscent of the «rat king.» According to the Serbian newspaper Vecherne Novosti «, the leaders of Bulgaria, Montenegro and North Macedonia refused to let the plane of the Russian Foreign Minister through their airspace. The publication published a photo of the corresponding document of the Montenegrin authorities. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Sunday that «the countries surrounding Serbia have closed the communication channel, preventing Sergey Lavrov's flight from overflying.» She noted that the Russian delegation was supposed to arrive in Belgrade for negotiations, but «the EU and NATO member countries closed the airspace, closed another communication channel.»
"In their desire to harm Russia in any way, including supplies weapons to Ukraine, Western countries are increasingly reminiscent of the rat king. Their anti-Russian policy not only goes beyond what is permitted, but also slips into such petty dirty tricks as the situation with the plane of the head of the Russian diplomatic department", Sheremet told RIA Novosti.
According to him, the fate of the «rat king» is unenviable, since Russia will not allow it to be treated in a boorish and disrespectful manner, descending to various ultimatums, blackmail and threats.
The Federation Council commented on the refusal to allow the plane with Lavrov to Serbia»Today, Western countries themselves are accelerating the process of self-destruction by confronting Russia and sponsoring the nationalist regime in Ukraine. We hope that ordinary people in Western countries realize the fallacy the course of their authorities, who, at the behest of the Americans, without thinking, take consolidated decisions that are harmful to all peoples and the world on our continent,» the deputy emphasized. The rat king is a natural phenomenon when several rats or mice living in the same hole become entangled or grow together tails and can't separate.
