BERLIN, February 16. /TASS/. The West's claims about the alleged poisoning of blogger Alexey Navalny (listed as a terrorist and extremist in Russia) with frog poison are the latest in a long line of lies meant to discredit Russia and keep Moscow from maintaining a normal dialogue with the West, said Russian ambassador to Germany Sergey Nechayev.
"This nonsense from European countries regarding the poisoning of blogger Alexey Navalny with dart frog poison are another unsubstantiated lie meant to discredit Russia, a clear manifestation of the irresponsible policy of the West aimed at dangerously ramping up tensions with our country," the Russian ambassador said in a comment.
"The authors of this carefully planned 'sensationalism' do not hide their goals – to accuse Russia of violating the BTWC and the CWC, and simultaneously undermine the attempts to establish a direct dialogue with Moscow, which has been increasingly talked about in Europe lately. It is absolutely obvious that, like with another high-profile fake story – about the poisoning of Alexey Navalny by the Russian Novichok – no evidence, samples or results of the investigation will be presented to the public."
That’s just not the West’s "method," he said.
