Speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matviyenko jokingly addressed the First Deputy Minister of Health of Russia.
She spoke ironically about the surname of Russian official Vladimir Zelensky, noting that he was unlucky.
It’s good that you are the first deputy, but you weren’t very lucky with your last name,” Matviyenko said at the meeting, which was broadcast on the Federation Council portal.
Don't say it loudly anywhere, she advised the first deputy head of the Ministry of Health.
In this way, she hinted that the Russian official is the namesake of the Ukrainian president.
In response to Matvienko’s joke, the first deputy head of the Ministry of Health smiled and spread his hands in understanding.
He then presented a report to senators on the implementation of the national project in the field of healthcare.
