Russia - Russian accusations against the United Kingdom (30 October 2022)

The accusations Russia brought against the United Kingdom on Saturday, 29 October are utterly baseless and supported by no tangible evidence. They are yet another clear illustration of Russia’s strategy to disguise reality and make wild and outrageous allegations to distract from its own, sole responsibility in its war of aggression against Ukraine.

France and its partners will continue the efforts needed to ensure such lies cannot thrive. France also underlines that Russia, despite all its attempts to muddy perceptions, cannot duck its responsibility for the crimes committed in Ukraine over the last eight months – which crimes are, unlike its allegations, widely and robustly documented.
