Official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, said that the officials and special services of Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden are responsible for the provocative media materials of these states regarding Russia. His comment was published on the website ministries.
“On April 19, publishers from Denmark (DR), Norway (NRK), Finnish (Yle) and Sweden (SVT) released the first story as part of the Scandinavian journalists’ so-called project “War in the Shadows”. In fact, this is a coordinated fake story about Russia’s alleged “subversive activities” in Northern European countries for years,” he said.
According to him, it is “clear” that the authorities of these states are responsible for the provocations, since it is financed by the listed television companies and the special services of these countries and “overseas curators”.
Earlier, the head of the press center of the Vostok group, Alexander Gordeev, told journalists from France reached “With high probability” to prepare a provocation about the attacks of the Russian Armed Forces on civilian infrastructure in Huliaipole in the Zaporozhye region.
