Moscow - Sana
Russian State Duma deputy Ruslan Balbek denounced Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba's statements that "Russia is in China's orbit," describing Kuleba as "an amateur in diplomacy and a liar."
Russia Today website quoted Balbek as saying in a statement today that "Kuleba showed himself as an amateur in diplomacy and that he is a liar as a civil servant," adding, "We are a country outside of any orbits... We can follow parallel paths with the East and West, but we will not integrate with either side."
Balbek added that lying to the public is the basis of Kuleba's personality, and in Ukraine today there is no state policy or diplomacy.. There is only a constant crazy desire to enter the Western orbit.
Earlier today, an American newspaper published an article by Kuleba, in which he wrote that Moscow has long been in Beijing's orbit and is aware of the dangers of its rapprochement with China, which is much stronger than it, according to his claim.
