Russian Ambassador to Britain Alexander Yakovenko called the case of the poisoning of Fiddles a British provocation aimed at containing Russia.
"Several years ago Britain was actively thinking about what their role would be in the Western Union.
And then, when the concept of national security was approved and later confirmed by Teresa May, the British took the lead in the so-called deterrence of Russia, "the ambassador said in an interview with the program" Week Results "on the NTV channel.
For this, according to Yakovenko's owls, a "powerful provocation" was needed, which would be supported by both the government of the United Kingdom and the people.
"Such a wild provocation, most likely, was arranged by the British to accuse Russia of many aspects and to restrain it," the diplomat summed up..
