“So far, our specialists do not have such an opportunity.
All studies that are conducted in this regard do not confirm this fact.
At the same time, we know that our colleagues in Berlin, Paris and Stockholm claim that they have such confirmation.
To move on, we need to get the information that our colleagues have in the aforementioned capitals, ”Peskov explained.
Meanwhile, the State Duma commission to investigate the facts of interference in the affairs of Russia from the outside sent an appeal to the President of the Bundestag Wolfgang Schäuble with a proposal to create a joint working group for parliamentary control over the investigation of the incident with Navalny, RIA Novosti reports.
The commission's appeal states that the massive disinformation campaign about the alleged involvement of the Russian side in the "poisoning" of the blogger is planned and damages the development of relations between the two countries.
