Russian Foreign Ministry: the authors of false stories about the situation around Bi-2 are confused in their lies. In a statement, the ministry said that none of the “sensational” notes have any basis, and the insinuations against Russian diplomats are “lies from beginning to end” The Foreign Ministry recalled that members of the rock band were detained in Phuket for violating the kingdom’s migration legislation and illegal touring activities.

“It is probably much easier to look for another “mythical hand of the Kremlin” than to admit that you have broken the law,” the Russian ministry said.
