Marija Zaharova (Мария Захарова), Venäjän ulkoasiainministeriön tiedotusosaston johtaja a.k.a. lystikäs Maria, "Droll Maria":
Poland is expelling virtually all Russian diplomats from the country, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said.
"I think that the expulsion of practically all Russian diplomats from Poland is related to this: they [Polish authorities] don't want Ukrainian citizens who have tied their fate with Russia to receive assistance and support, including on returning, on arriving to Russia," Zakharova said on the Rossiya-24 television channel.
"They are doing everything to make the situation worse for these people, possibly even punish them," she said.

Maria Zakharova kirjoitti:In reality it is the authorities in Kiev that are prohibiting the evacuation of refugees to our country and forcibly turning them westwards. Many of them still attempt to enter Russia, to be reunited with their relatives, but are prevented from completing their journey by EU Member States, primarily Poland. People are taken hostages first by Kiev and then by Brussels.

Zaharova on tullut aiemmin tunnetuksi mm. väitteillään siitä, etteivät Venäjän asevoimat pommita Ukrainan kaupunkeja, ja jatkaa näin nähtävästi näillä Venäjän rinnakkaistodellisuudesta käsin lausutuilla puheillaan tukevasti Venäjän oman Comical Alin, Sergei Lavrovin viitoittamalla tiellä.
