  1. What a hypocrite! Not a word about the unconstitutional coup that had taken place in Kiev just a few days prior, and not a glimpse of those Crimeans who were, in fact, happy and glad that Russians came.

  2. Here I have a question for all native English speakers. In the end she said, "Foreign minister, thank you very much". It sounded a bit off to me. I mean, it looks to me like it would be better if she said, "Mister Lavrov, thank you very much". Am I wrong here? And another question. If it were Putin instead of Lavrov, then she would probably say, “Mister President, thank you very much” and that would be just fine. But it looks to me like it would be odd to say, “Mister minister, thank you very much”. Am I right here? If yes, then why is “mister President” ok, but “mister minister” is not?
