Zakharova called the memorial ceremony in Hiroshima an attempt to discredit Russia

This is stated on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

“The memorial ceremony held on August 6 in Hiroshima on the occasion of the anniversary of the atomic bombing of this city by the US Air Force resulted in another cynical attempt to consign to oblivion the memory of the victims of American barbarism and discredit Russia, which was reflected in the speeches of the organizers and the final documents,” Zakharova said. .

According to her, the United States was not mentioned at the event, and all the speeches were reduced to "inflating" the baseless thesis about the "threat" from Russia.

As Zakharova added, "it was even more inappropriate to quote in the appeal announced at the ceremony, the statements of the great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy."

Earlier, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stressed that the inadmissibility of nuclear war is Russia's principled position.
