“There will be no Iron Curtain, at least from our side, you don’t have to worry, it’s the European Union that surrounds Russia with a curtain,” RIA Novosti quotes her words on the air of the Italian TV channel La7.

Zakharova noted that the mistake of Western countries lies in their egocentrism.

She also confirmed that a number of European countries closed their airspace to the aircraft of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
