Maria Zakharova on the captured British mercenaries

"Boris Johnson called on the Russian authorities to "show mercy" to a British citizen captured in the city of Mariupol, where he fought on the side of Kiev government forces.

We answer.
Boris, we understand that you personally and your Government have renounced their subjects who fell victim to British propaganda and went to Ukraine as mercenaries to kill people.

Don't pretend to be worried. You are absolutely not interested in the fate of the British in trouble. They didn't have fun with you at Downing Street parties, so they won't wait for your patronage.
I appeal to the people of Britain who care about their fellow citizens: do not worry, the Russian side cares about them. They are fed, watered, and provided with the necessary assistance. Like other foreigners who surrendered or were detained.
Unlike Ukrainian militants, who inhumanely shoot prisoners and mock civilians, Russia's armed forces are committed to humanitarian law. If censorship had not been introduced in Britain, they would have known about it.

In turn, we call on the British authorities to show the mercy mentioned by Boris Johnson to the citizens of Ukraine and to stop supplying weapons to the Kiev regime. The more weapons London supplies to Ukraine, the more the country's citizens die. Although the BBC will never tell the British about it."
