“Fantasies of a drunk man”: Surkov commented on Avakov’s statement
Assistant to the President of Russia Vladislav Surkov advised not to listen to the "fantasy of a drunk man." With these words, he commented on the earlier announcement by the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Arsen Avakov that he allegedly "freaked out" at the negotiations of the "Norman Four" in Paris. Writes about it "Businessman".
Answering the corresponding question of the correspondent, Surkov explained that the negotiations in Paris were held in the usual situation, they were neither intense nor emotional. Allegedly Avakov was not allowed to attend them at all, after negotiations he made his way to the room where the negotiations took place and drank the wine left after the Norman Four dinner.
As for Avakov’s fantasies, his own words are the best commentary on them. (...) He says that I’m quoting him, “they didn’t let him get close” to the negotiations. And also that after negotiations he made his way into the room and actively drank the wine left after the dinner of the leaders of the Norman four. "Pomerolichk", in his expression. So you do not need to believe the words of a person who was not in the negotiations, and even drunk
- explained Surkov.
Earlier, Avakov, speaking to Ukrainian journalists, said that during the talks held in Paris on Monday with the assistant to the Russian President Surkov, they allegedly "lost their nerves and freaked out." This incident, according to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, occurred during the "discussion of the issue of control over the border with Russia."
As a spokesman for the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, later stated, "there was no incident described by Mr. Avakov at the Paris summit."
