Russian diplomat accuses UK Defense Secretary of slander
STEPANAKERT, JUNE 30, ARTSAKHPRESS: "British Minister Wallace, if you don’t want to appear as a complete liar to the entire world, cite at least one example of how I am ‘threatening to nuke everyone’ ‘every week.’ Given that you won’t find a single quote, I am right now accusing you of slander and the spread of fake news," the diplomat wrote on her Telegram channel on Wednesday.
Earlier, the UK Defense Secretary made a number of offensive remarks about Russian officials, including Zakharova and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov branded these remarks as obnoxious and noted that such behavior casts a shadow on the UK.
