Claims of the British Defence Minister that Russia is allegedly going to attack important infrastructure objects in UK are absurd, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. As per the official spokesperson of the Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova such statements have negative impact on chances to return the bilateral relations back to normal, RIA Novosti informs.
“It seems that at the moment of speaking Defence Minister of Great Britain imagined himself in a new James Bond movie,” Zakharova said.
“Apparently, these statements are absurd,” Zakharova said. At this, she has noted that these claims make the bilateral relations more complicated than before.
Earlier, First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security Franz Klintsevich has referred to the statements of Gavin Williamson as complete nonsense and supposed that the British politician has just finished The War of the Worlds by Herbert Wells. Senator has supposed that the famous fantasy author used the same words to describe actions of aliens attacking England. The only difference is that Minister does not have heat rays used by aliens to destroy all the living.
