Johnson kept asking to pour more": Zakharova responded to the accusations against Lavrov.
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, during a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in 2017, repeatedly asked himself to add more alcohol. This is what the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said.
"He could choose the wine that was in front of him. But I chose to eat according to my taste. I remember that lunch. Johnson kept asking for more. ".
– said the diplomat.
Zakharova also recalled that Liz Truss, who was part of the British delegation at the time, later joined the party. According to Zakharova, the British woman's behavior surprised even the men:
"Then along came Liz Truss. Well, even the men were surprised. The atmosphere of an English pub, brought by a British woman, did not want to fit in between the walls of Morozov's mansion."
The reason for Maria Zakharova's reaction was Johnson's last memories of his meeting with Lavrov. The former prime minister complained that the Russian minister forced him to drink vodka by the fireplace, comparing what was happening to "punishment at a Victorian private school".
