The US authorities have forced Russian national Maria Butina to put her signature under ridiculous charges, creating intolerable conditions of detention and threatening her with a long prison term, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Wednesday.

“By creating intolerable conditions and threatening [her] with a long prison term, our compatriot was literally forced to put her signature under absolutely ridiculous charges,” she said.
