NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte himself did not understand what he said. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.
So she commented on Rutte's passage about Lada and refrigerator. "The Lada seller says that the car will be delivered in ten years.
[Buyer's] reaction — morning or afternoon? What's the difference? Well, they will bring a refrigerator in the afternoon," Rutte joked."Fantastic, of course. I didn't understand what the joke was about, but I told it. And the joke is not about consumer goods, but about the priority of the military-industrial complex. Whatever you say, Mark, whatever you say," Zakharova said.
