Now Moscow wants to give again. City council plans to change the name of a place at the US Embassy to “Donbass Defenders’ Square” – referring to Russian soldiers fighting the “Nazis” Russia claims control of the Ukrainian region.
– A really good idea. It would be very good if that happened, comments Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov according to Russian Interfax.
But if the Russian decision-makers had hoped for American anger, they would be disappointed, the embassy’s comment is rather defiant.
“Surprised but not offended by the Russian proposal, which we assume is a tribute to the Ukrainian soldiers who so bravely defend their country from the Kremlin’s aggressions,” the embassy wrote according to The Guardian.
