MOSCOW, February 17. /TASS/. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has advised US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland to focus on the issue of unidentified flying objects in the skies over the United States rather than intervene in Ukraine.
"I would like to share a piece of advice with Victoria Nuland. Take care of the white balloons and UFOs that ply the skies over the United States of America. As we can see, you have problems with dealing with these unidentified objects quickly and efficiently enough," Zakharova told a news briefing on Friday.
"Your own people are making fun of you, while you are all dreaming of Russia’s defeat and still calling on the Kiev regime to launch an attack on Crimea. Victoria, you’ve got some chores to do at home," Zakharova said.
Last week, the North American Aerospace Defense Command registered three unidentified objects, two of which were shot down by the US military in the national airspace, and one more over Canada. All three objects were much smaller than the previously discovered Chinese balloon. They looked different form the Chinese one and were at lower altitudes.
