Miroshnik called the loss of light in Zelensky's residence a theatrical effect

Rodion Miroshnik, Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said on November 10 that the blackout at the Mariinsky Palace in Kiev during an interview with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to The Guadrian newspaper was a theatrical effect aimed at receiving money from Western investors.

"Zelensky likes small theatrical effects," says his message on the Telegram channel.

According to him, this incident is aimed at "squeezing a stingy financial tear out of eurosponsors by complaining about the blackout."
