Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Zakharova said today that on the 81st anniversary of the US atomic bombing of the city, Kazumi Matsui, once again repeated his erroneous rhetoric and used anti-Russian rhetoric to “brainwash” the Japanese people. Zakharova said that Kazumi Matsui “once again forgot to explain to the world who is responsible for the suffering of this city, without mentioning that America is the country that dropped atomic bombs on civilians.” At the same time, he criticized Russia and Russia's actions in Ukraine. Zakharova wrote on social media: “The 'haha mirror' of Western narratives not only distorts images, but also changes the way people look at the mirror. Year after year, the mayor of Hiroshima repeats this false spell, using the spell of hatred against Russia to 'brainwash' the Japanese people.”
