Russia accuses UK of ‘manipulating information’ over spy poisoning
MOSCOW, Sept 5, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Moscow on Wednesday accused British authorities of manipulating information after London blamed two Russians for a nerve agent attack on a former spy in the city of Salisbury in March.
“We once again call on the British side to switch from public accusations and manipulating information to practical cooperation through law enforcement agencies,” foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, Russian news agencies reported.
