“First of all, it is necessary to emphasize that this statement is made by the secretary of state of the country that destroyed Iraq, intervened in Syria, destroyed Libya and committed an act of state crime, killing Iran’s General Suleymani,” Shapovalov said.

In his opinion, such statements are "an act of state hypocrisy."

He added that it was “absolutely unacceptable."

Earlier, Pompeo accused Russia and Iran of "ruthless actions" in Syria.
