Vladimir Putin's top female diplomat has hit back at Britain's defence secretary Ben Wallace after he called the pair "lunatics" and said the tyrant has "small man syndrome".
The Tory minister claimed that Russian's Maria Zakharova - who some see as a future Russian foreign minister- is “like a comedy turn", adding: “She does her statement every week, threatening to nuke everyone or doing something or another.”
Wallace cast doubt on Boris Johnson's theory yesterday that a woman was was less likely to embark “on a crazy, macho war of invasion and violence”, adding that Putin was “a perfect example of toxic masculinity”.
