According to Peskov, one should not underestimate the level of tension that was caused by Pelosi's trip to Taiwan.
Earlier it became known that the plane of the Speaker of the US House of Representatives took off from Taiwan's Songshan Airport in Taipei.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov linked the trip of the chairman of the US House of Representatives to Taiwan with Washington's desire to demonstrate its permissiveness and impunity.
