Literally ambassador: “A military-civil parade stained by the participation of a Russian regiment: the boots and hands of war criminals are stained with blood.”
Details: Dramaretskaya reproached the Mexican leader for allowing Russian soldiers to take part in the parade on Saturday, September 16.
“How consistent is your policy of neutrality and your condemnation of Russian aggression against my country, Mr. Lopez Obrador?” – she asked.
This Saturday, in addition to the Russian contingent, the parade was attended by delegations from 19 other countries, which the Ministry of National Defense called “friends.”
Countries present included Belize, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, South Korea, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, Panama, Russia, Uruguay, Chile, Sri Lanka and Venezuela.
The contingents “exalted” the event, “demonstrating the brotherhood that unites Mexico with the countries of the Americas, Europe and Asia,” the Defense Department said.
