MOSCOW, June 10. /TASS/. Politicians in the West begin to look tired of Ukraine’s President Vladimir Zelensky, who ever more often behaves like a "monster pet," cheeky enough to bite his own masters, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in an interview to Russia’s comedy duo Vladimir "Vovan" Kuznetov and Alexey "Lexus" Stolyarov, famous in Russia for their hilarious pranks featuring foreign celebrities.
"Everyone in the West is already tired of Zelensky. To put it in a nutshell, he is the limit, he is pretty close to making them lose temper. There is a certain type of people who tend to be so intrusive you begin to feel a nagging toothache, because they pester you with requests and don’t let you forget about them even for a moment. They (the West - TASS) now have a different attitude towards him: they’ve realized at last that they have nurtured a monster pet, who is beginning to devour them slowly but surely," Zakharova said in an interview uploaded to the Vovan and Lexus channel on Rutube.
Zelensky has developed the delusion, she said, that the West will "cancel" any person the Ukrainian president will point at. "In his own imaginary world, he begins to build a global agenda and to embed himself into that agenda. I am sure that he is absolutely certain he rules the globe," Zakharova said.
"In other words, they understand that they have grown a monster who is now in the captivity of his own illusions. True, in some respects, he may pay off, but in many others he is so certain about his omnipotence that he has begun to annoy them," she concluded.
The comedy duo previously published a prank involving former US President George W. Bush, to whom one of the pranksters introduced himself as Ukraine’s President Vladimir Zelensky. In that video Bush Jr. made a number of rather telling statements. In particular, he acknowledged that the United States had promised Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev the non-expansion of NATO, confirmed the operation of US biological laboratories in Ukraine, and dropped an emotional comment regarding Georgia’s ex-president Mikhail Saakashvili.
