Former Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi's statement that Russian President Vladimir Putin has a hand in pro-Palestinian protests in the United States is an insult to American citizens and inherently undemocratic, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
"It is impossible to see this as anything other than an affront to Americans and an attack on democracy," the diplomat wrote on her Telegram channel, commenting on Pelosi's words.
On April 25, US police said at least 127 people were arrested during large-scale protests on American university campuses against Israeli actions in the Palestinian enclave. Of those, 93 students were arrested at the University of Southern California and another 34 at the University of Texas. On April 18, New York City police arrested at least 100 Columbia University students who had held a rally in support of Palestine.
