The State Duma assessed the introduction of the EU and the UK sanctions against Russia

According to the parliamentarian, "whole departments have already appeared in these countries, which come up with reasons for anti-Russian sanctions." 

“These people value their positions so much that they create real dramatic plays in which Russia is the main negative character.

It doesn't matter that there is no evidence and even objective reasons why Russia could arrange aggressive attacks on the Western world, ”Balbek noted.

According to the deputy, the main thing is that there should be a reason "to voice to the whole world that our country is to blame for something."

“So that the spectators of this political performance would have indignation and tears,” he concluded.

Earlier, the European Union and Great Britain imposed sanctions against two citizens of Russia and the “85th Main Center of Special Services of the GRU”, considering them to be involved in the hacker attack on the Bundestag in 2015.

In June, the Russian Foreign Ministry recalled that the Federal Republic of Germany had not provided evidence of Moscow's guilt in the cyber attack, not the Bundestag.

At the end of May, the German Foreign Ministry invited the ambassador of Russia, and, as they said in Berlin, he was condemned because of the "hacker attack on the Bundestag."

The Russian Foreign Ministry, in turn, rejected Berlin's unsubstantiated accusations of the involvement of Russian government agencies in the hacker attack.
