    Mr. Yakovenko is a strange fellow. Mr. Boris Johnson said so, what other evidence he needs 🙂

    The English government needs a lot of hate for the Russians among the peoples of Europe, whose opinion they do not take into account. Didn’t they achieved the desired result?
    The British gave the Russian friendly advice in a rude form “shut up and do not stir.” Why do the Russians interfere with this story?
