It appears the Russians are losing their patience with the proof-less accusations from The UK.
Russian ambassador Alexander Yakovenko has held press conference in London, denying the Kremlin was involved in the attempted murder of Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia using military-grade nerve agent.
“Britain has without any evidence blamed Russia for poisoning three people and continues to refuse to cooperate,” he said.
The UK authorities are violating Vienna Convention by not giving Russia access to Skripals, because Skripal has dual citizenship (the UK and Russia), Russian Ambassador to the UK Alexander Yakovenko said.
The Russian embassy has immediately requested details and materials of the case, the envoy stated.
While 10 days have passed, Moscow has received no response, while London has refused to pass samples of the poisonous substance allegedly used to attack Skripal.
Then Yakovenko turned a little darker, seemingly indicating concerns that this was nothing but a false-flag operation… (via SputnikNews)
The envoy called for checking how could British experts find out the exact type of the nerve gas used to poison Skripal.
Commenting on the death of former top manager of Russian Aeroflot airline Nikolai Glushkov, the ambassador stated that “we cannot take Britain’s words on trust.”
Alexander Yakovenko said that Britain has provided no proof of Russia’s alleged involvement in the nerve agent attack.
He suggested that the samples of the so-called Novichok nerve gas could have already been in possession of a labaratory, which is located just miles away from Salisbury.
“We have been refused consular access to our Russian citizen Yulia Skripal,” Russian Ambassador to the UK Alexander Yakovenko said.
The UK is ignoring requests on case of Russian businessman Glushkov who died in London, ambassador stated.
Russian experts puzzled how UK managed to determine type of nerve gas in Skripal case, in days, but not weeks or months.
The UK has a long record of misdoings, he said, including the support of coup in Ukraine and the invasion of Iraq.
UK Prime Minister May is set to warn at a summit in Brussels that Vladimir Putin’s brazen flouting of international law represents a threat democracies across the continent.
And then the ambassador turned his attention to the shocking comments from UK foreign secretary Boris Johnson who compared the Russian World Cup to Hitler’s 1939 Olympics…
Johnson recently raised the bar for the UK government’s barrage of accusations against Moscow to a new level. The British foreign minister compared Russia’s hosting of this year’s World Cup to the 1936 Olympics in Nazi Germany.
“I think the comparison with 1936 is certainly right. It is an emetic prospect to think of Putin glorifying in this sporting event,” he told a receptive Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday.
Russia was furious:
“This statement is totally disgusting, it is not appropriate for any foreign minister,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
“Undoubtedly, [this remark] is offensive and unacceptable.”
Additionally, Mr Yakovenko condemned the comments today, saying:
“Nobody has the right to insult the Russian people, who defeated the Nazis.'”
But The UK’s propaganda is not just for adults, they are indoctrinating the kids too…
In case pupils in the UK don’t understand the headlines on Russia and its president, a special publication for kids explains how “toxic Putin” is poisoning the West, without bothering to distinguish between fact and allegation.
The Day, a news website that produces short articles about current affairs meant to be used as teaching aids in British schools, has offered students two alternatives to believe about Vladimir Putin: he is either Europe’s “most dangerous leader since Hitler,” or a puffed up figure attacking other nations out of weakness.
