Russian presenter Olga Skabeyeva mocked political scientist Sergei Markov in a live broadcast.

Axar.az reports that Markov linked Putin's refusal to attend the BRICS summit in South Africa with a conspiracy against him.

According to the political scientist, the USA made the vice president of the Republic of South Africa an accomplice in its "crime" and prepared a conspiracy against Putin:

"I will say very briefly about BRICS: Putin did not leave because there is a danger that the Americans and the British will shoot him. The West has also involved the vice president, who is not subordinate to the South African President, in his criminal case. He has a conflict with the President of South Africa and that's why he came up with this idea. Then all this came to light”

The presenter Skabeyeva laughed at Markov's approach and cut him off, giving a commercial break on the air:

"It was a conspiracy theory. Advertising".

Markov got angry and noted that this is the pure truth. Skabeyeva again interrupted Markov and demanded advertising on the air.
