Zakharova ironically commented on reports of Pelosi's flight to Taipei

“The main thing is that later the“ partners ”do not say that Petrov and Boshirov were at the helm of the board with Pelosi,” she wrote on Telegram.

Earlier it was reported that the special flight of the President of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi will arrive at the airport of the Taiwanese capital Taipei around 17:00 Moscow time.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said that China will take strong measures to protect national sovereignty and territorial integrity if Pelosi visits Taiwan.

According to the Japanese television channel NHK, five tanker aircraft and eight F15 fighters took off from the US military base Kadena in Okinawa after 14:00 Moscow time.
