Russian Foreign Ministry spoke of gross interference of the US, the UK and Canada in Russia’s internal affairs
The ambassadors of the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada have been summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry because of interference in Russia's affairs, TASS reports
“In connection with gross interference in the internal affairs of Russia and activities that do not correspond to the diplomatic status, the ambassadors of the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada have been summoned to the Foreign Ministry,” the Russian Foreign Ministry informed.
Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, called the statements of the ambassadors of the UK, the US and Canada after the verdict of publicist Vladimir Kara-Murza (recognised as a foreign agent in the Russian Federation) a direct interference in Russia's internal affairs. She also called the demands of the US and Canadian ambassadors to release Kara-Murza ‘the height of cynicism’, while human rights are shamelessly violated and differently-minded persons are persecuted in their home countries.
Later it became known that the British Ambassador to Russia, Deborah Bronnert, had already arrived at the Russian Foreign Ministry.
