“It is regrettable that British journalists, instead of demanding answers from their own authorities to numerous questions about what happened, prefer to work on Salisbury in art genres,” a spokesman for the Russian embassy said in response to a question about the attitude to the start of filming of the BBC three-part art a film about the Skripals poisoning incident.
The Russian diplomatic mission emphasized that this does not contribute to establishing the truth in this case.
“This ... consolidates in the public mind the politicized versions of the British authorities that were not supported by evidence,” the representative of the department concluded.
Earlier, the EU extended the sanctions for a year in the case of the Skripals poisoning.
The first deputy chairman of the State Duma committee on international affairs, Dmitry Novikov, in an interview with the FAN called it unlikely that a cardinal reversal of the course of Western European countries towards Russia would be unlikely.
