Claims made by the German Public Prosecutor General’s Office regarding Russia’s involvement in killing of a Georgian national in Summer 2019 in Berlin are ungrounded, Russian Ambassador to Germany Sergey Nechayev said Thursday, according to the embassy’s press service.
“The indictment contains a statement that the assassination was conducted by the order of Russian government structures. However, this, just like before, was not supported by any facts or evidence,” the envoy said.
“We consider the allegations against Russian state structures ungrounded and unfounded,” Nechayev, who was previously summoned to the German Foreign Ministry, added.
“Just like the recent story, heavily promoted in Germany, regarding the so-called Russian hackers and intelligence services behind them, [these allegations] completely fail to facilitate positive development of already complicated Russian-German relations,” the envoy said.
“As for the threats of further measures against Russia one can hear in Berlin, should they be implemented, they will not be left without response,” Nechayev pointed out.
