Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Sunday that the entire country had united in response to what she described as unjustified international pressure, particularly from NATO countries.
Her comment answers an earlier remark made by the German Foreign Ministry, stating that the Russian presidential election was "neither free nor fair."
Zakharova's remarks on Telegram strongly rebuked Germany's stance, emphasizing that Russia's unified front was a direct consequence of perceived threats and provocations.
