According to the head of Finnish diplomacy, during the investigation it was possible to find "certain ties" with Russia surrounded by the leader of the Danish far-right Hard Course party, Rasmus Paludan, who initiated the action.
In response, Zakharova posted a post on her Telegram with a photo of Haavisto shaking hands with his Russian colleague Sergey Lavrov.
“Russian hackers dug through the archives of the CIA and found evidence of Pekka Haavisto’s “certain links” with Russia.
There are suspicions that it was not just a handshake with Sergey Lavrov, but a ritual action, the purpose of which is yet to be clarified by the Finnish special services during the “investigation,” she wrote.
The diplomat also added that she was disgusted to watch the attempts of the representatives of the West "to put together the word" exclusivity "from the fragments of their own values."
On January 21, Rasmus Paludan, leader of the far-right Hard Deal party, burned a Koran outside the Turkish embassy in Stockholm.
Previously, he received permission from the authorities to hold the action.
On January 22, protesters in Turkey burned the flag of Sweden at the country's Consulate General in Istanbul in response to a provocation with the Koran in Stockholm.
Subsequently, Paludan threatened Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan with new actions until Sweden joins NATO.
Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billström said that Sweden had interrupted the process of joining NATO due to actions with the desecration of the Koran, and expressed hope that agreements on NATO expansion with Ankara could be reached at the summit of the foreign ministries of the alliance countries in Vilnius in July.
