MOSCOW, February 15. /TASS/. The hoopla around the recent unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in the United States can be linked to the upcoming elections in America, given the impossibility of returning to the issue of Russia, because ‘it has been entirely exhausted’, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, speaking to Sputnik radio on Wednesday.
"You know that elections are on the horizon in the US. No wonder there will be Pokemons, there will be UFOs, because it seems to me that it is simply impossible to continue promoting the topic of Russia, because they (the US - TASS) have exhausted it completely and reduced it to absurdity, tiring everyone with the topic of Russia within their information and political field. So, I just do not see any other way how they can continue promoting this topic for many years. However, they do need to surprise the public somehow," she said.
Zakharova also added that a return of the Biden administration to the Russian topic would only raise more questions "because it is their policy on Russia that has been implemented on a disastrous scale and with consequences for all of humanity."
Last week, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) spotted three "unidentified objects," two of which were shot down by the US military in national airspace, and another one over Canadian territory. It was noted that all three objects were much smaller than the Chinese balloon, were at a lower altitude, and were not similar in appearance. The last of them was destroyed on Sunday over Lake Huron on the US-Canada border, with its debris presumably falling into Canadian territorial waters.
