Russia qualifies as fanciful accusations from the US press

Russia qualifies as fanciful accusations from the US press Moscow, Oct 9 (Prensa Latina) Russia today rejected the ‘fanciful accusations’ that appeared in the US press about an alleged intelligence unit of this country involved in the case of Serguei Skripal and an attempted coup in Montenegro.

The Kremlin spokesman, Dmitri Peskov, considered an article in the New York Times newspaper about cheap fiction as a special ultra-secret command of Russian Military Intelligence (GRU) that allegedly operates in Europe.

Seen by local politicians as an attempt to underpin statements by officials from the northern country, the publication indicates that the GRU formed a group for a chemical attack against Skripal, a former agent of that body, in the English city of Salisbury.

In addition, The New York Times speculates that the same team would be behind several acts of destabilization of the political situation in several European countries, including the attempted coup in Montenegro. The West tries to accuse Russia of being behind popular protests, caused by the unilateral decision of the Montenegrin government to enter the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, without leading to such an important popular consultation.

Peskov recalled that President Vladimir Putin at all times advocates maintaining good relations with Europe in general and bilaterally with each of the states in that region. Rather, it is the scene of a lousy Hollywood film, said, for his part, Senator and journalist Alexei Pushkov, commenting on the North American newspaper article.

The European press has been launching accusations against Russia of interference in electoral processes in several countries of the region since the beginning of the year, before which Moscow rejects such versions and demands concrete evidence to support them.
