Full quote translated:
> "Let's not rock the boat too much, so I am asking you kindly not to mention these Iranian [drones]... Because it's that classic story, it's like an ass — you have it, but don't say the word. We all know that they are Iranian, but the authorities are not admitting it."[0]
FTR, “The ass exist, but no word for it” string mentioned from old Russian kids funny song[1,2] about censorship in USSR, which also refers to catchphrase "There is no sex in USSR"[3]:
> Абсолютно непонятно: Жопа - есть, а слова - нет...
> Absolutely incomprehensible: The ass exist, but no word for it...

- Lockal 4y agoNo, this is a well-known Russian joke, see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Russian_jokes&oldid=1114252281#Vovochka https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Russian_jokes&old... . The song is just much lesser known derivative.
