The secretary of state asked Russia to punish those responsible for the Navalny poisoning, in which, he said, officials may be involved.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov responded to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s statement about the involvement of Russian dignitaries in the poisoning of Alexei Navalny, Interfax reports Thursday, September 10.
Pompeo said earlier that the United States is waiting for the Russians to bring those responsible for the Navalny poisoning to justice. In his opinion, people understand what is happening, see “an attempt to poison the dissident” and “admit that there is a substantial possibility that it came from high-ranking Russian officials.”
“We are used to unfounded accusations. And when an official representative of the German government declares that the request of the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office has been transferred to the independent judicial bodies and therefore the German government can no longer do anything, but at the same time demands that we carry out an investigation, it remembers created by our Western colleagues and after the Salisbury poisoning … and it repeats the story that unfolded with the Malaysian Boeing tragedy, “Lavrov said.
At the same time, he noted that Moscow did not refuse to cooperate in the investigations and provided the necessary information. “They answered us like this: by cooperation from the Russian side we mean the need for you to admit your guilt,” he continued.
“If the same logic now prevails among our Western colleagues, first of all, among Germans, and also among Americans, this will only confirm that they put themselves above the law, they put themselves above everyone else, that, for So to speak, they are all equal, but they are much more equal than everyone else, because they must take their word for it, “said the minister.
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry called the allegations against Russian authorities of involvement in the Navalny poisoning “unfounded” and demanded that Germany provide all materials on this case.
