The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, called for unity “under the banner of the commander-in-chief”, and to postpone everything “personal” for later.
“We have one commander in chief. Not two, not three. One. And he urged everyone to unite. This is the main thing now. We all have our own attitude towards everything. But there come moments in history when one’s personal needs to be put aside for later. Even if you think you’re 100% right. Why? Yes, because if we don’t unite now, if everyone is for himself or for his own vision of the situation, nothing will matter anymore. Only unity. Unity under the banner of the Commander-in-Chief,” the Russian diplomat wrote in her Telegram channel.
Zakharova believes that “the enemy is just waiting for civil strife in Russia. “Can’t wait! Guys! Behind you are children, women, your parents! The country is behind you. Behind you is everything that you defend with weapons in your hands. Behind you are the graves of those who did not spare themselves. You are the future generations. Hold on and don’t give in,” the diplomat urged.
At the same time, Zakharova noted that the temptation to put one’s opinion above the interests of the country and the people is great. “But if only to succumb to it, everything for which we live and fight, each in its own place, will crumble. Unite. You are brothers. You are not defending the interests of individuals, but of all of us. You are protecting your huge family. And we believe in you, as we always believed and supported you. Today we are all tempted, testing our strength. Don’t give in! Together with the President! God bless us!” the diplomat wrote.
