#2 Foreign Minister Liz Truss, answering a question from Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, said that the Rostov and Voronezh regions do not belong to Russia.

Jesus... ROSTOV? She's never heard of Tolstoy's characters in War and Peace? FFS, this is one of the West's foreign ministers. They're supposed to be our intellectual policy-makers -- the cosmopolitan worldly ones, those with a deep grasp of other nations' geography at a minimum and preferably their history and culture.

Claiming that Rostov and Voronezh aren't part of Russia is like claiming that Swansea and Bristol are not part of Britain. Or saying that El Paso is not part of the US.

#4 Have you been to El Paso recently? Like El Centro or National City, CA it certainly seems pretty alien if you are from Ohio...

#5 ^ OK then it's like saying St Louis is not part of the US. Rostov is one of the most famous and ancient Russian cities.

This woman's supposed to articulate Britain's foreign policy and negotiate a successor to the Minsk Accords.

#6 I'm surprised that Lavrov offered her a field goal from the ten yard line:

"Do you recognize the sovereignty of Russia over the Rostov and Voronezh regions?"

"Just as you recognize the sovereignty of Ukraine over the Donetsk and Luhansk regions!"

#7 The Russians could solve all their problems with the UK by establishing grooming gangs in Britain. That would shut the limeys right up.
