ura.news (Russian) —

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova responded harshly to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's statement about visiting Moscow "on a rocket," comparing him to False Dmitry, a 17th-century impostor. Zakharova wrote on Telegram that Zelensky apparently fears the fate of False Dmitry, whose ashes were loaded into a cannon and fired toward Poland. She made the remark after Zelensky answered a Russian journalist's question at the UN General Assembly. Zelensky had said he planned to travel to Moscow "on a rocket" when asked about a potential visit. The exchange reflects ongoing tensions between the two countries amid the continuing conflict.
