Rhetorical Style
The rhetorical style is combative and assertive, centered on repetitive questioning designed to highlight the discord between the government and the mayor. The tone is formal yet accusatory, emphasizing the delivery of "the truth" while rejecting the Foreign Minister's accusations of malice. The arguments appeal to the logical conclusion that taxes paid in Russia support Putin.
