Zakharova: The Norwegian Foreign Minister is a descendant of the Vikings, the same fool as many in Europe

The Norwegian Foreign Minister, who announced that Vikings visited Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye and Kherson, is as illiterate as his Viking ancestors. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.

This is how she commented on the statements of Norwegian Minister Espen Bart Eide made during his visit to Kiev.

"In his excursion, he agreed to the point that he told about the journey of the Vikings through the territory of present-day Ukraine, who allegedly sailed to such cities as Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye and Kherson. He, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Norway, was not at all embarrassed, judging by the outlook of many in Europe, obviously the fact that these cities were founded a little later could not embarrass," Zakharova said.,

She recalled that these cities were founded in The Russian Empire in the 18th century.

"There is only one question left to ask, and I will do it. Is the illiteracy of Espen Bart Eide also a legacy of his Viking ancestors? Or what? Is this the legacy of his ancestors who robbed and killed people all over Europe? Or is it something self-acquired?" — the diplomat noted with irony.
