Kremlin says Netherlands has no proof of alleged Russian hacking plot
MOSCOW, Oct 8, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Monday
said documents presented by the Netherlands last week alleging that Russian
agents attempted to hack into the global chemical watchdog organisation were
not proof of Moscow’s involvement.
Asked by journalists if the Kremlin considers documents released by the
Dutch authorities, which include diplomatic passports of four men identifying
them as agents of Russian military intelligence, to be proof, Peskov said
“no” adding that Moscow would “no longer discuss these topics through the
media.”
