reference news reported on september 17according to a report by tass on september 16, the russian embassy in the uk commented that british foreign secretary david lammy's comparison of russia to a fascist country tarnished the memory of all those who sacrificed in the fight against fascism in the 20th century.

the commentary reads: "the insulting remarks made by david lammy on a british tv channel on september 15 are absolutely unacceptable. he accused the russian federation leadership of being 'imperialist fascists'... lamy's attack is not so much an insult to our country's leadership as it is a tarnishing of the memory of all those who fought against fascism during world war ii, including his (lammy's) own compatriots... we would like to remind everyone that the fascist ideology based on racial superiority is closely linked to the crimes of german nazism. the people of russia and all other former soviet republics stopped these crimes through their own unparalleled feats."

the russian embassy pointed out that lamy, who became foreign secretary in july after the labour party won the parliamentary election, liked to "make inappropriate and radical remarks, for which he was known before he came to power", and that at that time he "labeled former us president trump a fascist", but for a foreign secretary whose remarks need to "conform to diplomatic etiquette", such statements are unacceptable.

the russian embassy reminded lamy: "ukrainian militants controlled, funded and armed by london, flying nazi flags and wearing fascist armbands, are fighting in areas including kursk. even the british newspaper the times has reported on this."

the article also mentioned: "as for the accusation of 'imperialism', it sounds at least quite bizarre coming from the mouth of a foreign minister of a country with a rich history and experience in this regard. however, a casual attitude towards the interpretation of diplomatic terms and historical events seems to be becoming the calling card of the british foreign minister."
