The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry commented on the recent incident that occurred at Moscow's Vnukovo Airport.
According to Maria Zakharova, Thomas Dodd's behavior today is a clear indicator of what the current British community has become.
The official representative of the Foreign Ministry made this comment during a briefing on October 23. Zakharova's speech is available on the official YouTube channel of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
It is noted that the behavior of the British Minister-Counselor caused a wide public outcry.
When Thomas Dodd and other British diplomatic mission officials were surrounded by the press at the airport to ask questions, the diplomat did not answer them.
Instead, he attacked the journalists and tore the badge off one of them.
Zakharova noted that Dodd's actions recorded on video indicate that foreign diplomats have no idea what the safety of journalists is.
She approached a British diplomat and called on him to return the journalist's accreditation, which he had torn down, since it did not belong to him.
