The statement of the German Foreign Minister regarding possible sanctions against Russian citizens in connection with the incident with Mr. Navalny is groundless. So far, no one has presented evidence of Navalny’s poisoning, and our Western colleagues have not yet responded to Russia’s requests for verification data on what happened. As the leadership of our country has repeatedly stated, we are interested in clarifying the reasons for the incident with the Russian citizen, but we will insist on an open and unbiased approach. ” This was stated by Sergey Zheleznyak, a member of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs.
The deputy recalled that “Russia has completely eliminated all stocks of chemical warfare agents, as evidenced by international organizations, in particular, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.”
“Without evidence and irrefutable facts, any accusations against our country and our citizens are a political order and an attempt to raise the wave of the anti-Russian campaign in Europe and the world,” the politician is convinced.
“The purpose of Russophobic attacks and illegal sanctions is to form a negative attitude of the world community towards our country. I don’t want to believe that the German leadership will follow the lead of the Russophobic lobby. Violent attempts by the anti-Russian part of the European and American establishment to squeeze out at least some dividends from the incident with the Russian opposition only prove the extreme interest of our opponents in the maximum complication of the matter, ”the parliamentarian added.
