Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has doubted Europe’s ability to cope with the influx of Ukrainian refugees as smoothly as the first wave of refugees from the Middle East.
“I am not sure that they [European countries] will be able to live through this wave as smoothly as they lived through the first wave of refugees from the Middle East,” she said in an interview with the Voskresny Vecher (Sunday Evening) with Vladimir Solovyov program on the Rossiya-1 television channel.
“It was the goal of our country to make Ukraine a common home for all and we offered it as a shared European agenda,” she said, adding that Europe had cared little about people’s lives in other countries when it focused on critical inflation growth in Europe.
“They are yelling that it was a heavy blow for them. But they have no idea of what a real trial is,” she noted.
