Ukrainian journalist Dmitry Gordon responded to the words of the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova. The day before, she called him an "extremist".

Gordon was harshly criticized by the Russian diplomat after he took part in the Shusha media forum and asked a question to the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev.

In his Telegram channel, the journalist called Zakharova a "press alcoholic" and said that she "does the right thing by watching" his interview. He also emphasized that "all neighbors and former allies are fleeing from your stinking fascist Russia of their own free will" and accused Russian propagandists of responsibility for the war in Ukraine.

"I am sure that Russian propagandists like you, Solovyov, Skabeeva and others - your entire camarilla of scoundrels who have been fueling the war against Ukraine for years and justifying war criminals - bear the same responsibility for the murders of thousands of Ukrainians and will sooner or later end up in prison," Gordon said.

The journalist also recalled that Ilham Aliyev advised Ukrainians at the forum to "never agree to occupation."
