Zakharova: The US is proud of deporting thousands of people on planes.
elchi reports that the US, which forces citizenship upon the children of Russian diplomats, is simultaneously proud of packing thousands of people onto planes and deporting them. This was stated by Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova on Sputnik Radio.
The Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson noted that the current US administration has launched a large-scale campaign to combat the illegal acquisition of US citizenship and illegal naturalization. Zakharova also noted that the country’s authorities are deporting people who have lived and worked in the US for many years.
According to the diplomat, Americans do not care how much good a person has done for the US, how worthy they are, whether they have children, or where they were born.
Zakharova added that, moreover, the granting of US citizenship to the children of Russian diplomats is announced over the phone. She called this one of the indicators of the crumbling image of a state governed by the rule of law with rights and freedoms.
In an article titled “Thank you, but no thank you. Enough. Stop!” published in the Vedomosti newspaper in early May, Zakharova wrote that US officials are forcibly imposing American citizenship on the children of Russian diplomats behind the president’s back.
