I
don’t see an Americagate hysteria oovertaking Moscow although
Russia has come to expect American interference and there is plenty
of collusion (by a real Fifth Column).
It won't be the REAL opposition, which is the Communist Party!
Russia
Accuses US of Secret Opposition Funding, Aiming to Destabilize
Country
18
January, 2018
The
Russian Foreign Ministry has accused the United States of a secret
funding of opposition groups, aimed at destabilization of the
country.
"Unlike
US embassies, which often use covert money transfers to fund
various kinds of opposition groups, with the aim,
among other things, to destabilize domestic political
situations; this is something that Russia does not do," the
ministry noted in an official statement.
The
ministry has also demanded Washington to punish those
responsible for the disclosure of the confidential data,
commenting on Buzzfeed's release of transactions, carried
out by Russian diplomatic offices in the US, as well
as some of the country's diplomats.
"We
urge the US to stop this practice, return to decent
behavior, and to resume responsible and orderly interstate
communication," the diplomat stressed. "We demand that US
authorities finally begin to implement their own national
legislation and international obligations, immediately stop the
illegal dissemination of confidential information affecting the
interests of the Russian Federation and bring to justice
those responsible, including those who hold the appropriate posts
in the US state apparatus."
The
statement went on by calling Buzzfeed an information tool
of the US intelligence services.
"It
is extremely alarming that on January 17, a media outlet
presenting itself as a news portal, but is essentially an
information tool of the US intelligence services, the resource
"Buzzfeed" published a new portion of confidential
information about the transactions of Russian diplomatic
institutions in the United States, along with a number
of employees of our embassy, both active and former.
Obviously, this could not happen without the awareness of the
authorities of this country," the document says.
According to
the ministry, the Buzzfeed staff admitted that when they tried
to request comments from our diplomats, they used contact
information from their bank forms.
However,
the ministry noted, it is simply impossible to obtain such data
without the sanction of the relevant US government bodies.
"In
other words, the encroachment on the inviolability of the
accounts of the Russian embassy and its personnel
with diplomatic immunity is the work of official
Washington," the document says.
As
the ministry explains, some of the released information has been
fabricated or misinterpreted, aiming to use it as a part
of the US attempt to accuse Moscow of meddling in the
2016 US presidential election.
"But
with these accounts, this is no longer just a matter of "fake
news", but a real crime, including the violation of the
confidentiality of banking information and the disclosure
of personal data," the department believes.
In
that respect, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated
that Washington does
not provide adequate conditions for Russian diplomatic
institutions to operate in the country.
