Accusations from the United States against China that Beijing was allegedly involved in the creation of the coronavirus are propaganda in nature, said Senator Alexei Pushkov.
“The facts speak in favor of the fact that China is a victim of the epidemic, and not its initiator, we should proceed from this”, – he said at a news conference at Russia Today MIA on Thursday.
The senator believes that by pushing such allegations, the United States seeks to divert attention from the “inept” actions of US President Donald Trump to combat the pandemic in his country.
At the same time, Pushkov noted that the coronavirus pandemic led only to a certain pause in the existing contradictions between the countries, but did not provoke a desire to seek a compromise to solve the most important problems.
