Oleg Morozov, a member of the international committee of the Federation Council of Russia, called the accusation of the Russian side in the “poisoning” of Alexei Navalny as gross political blackmail.
“This is crude political blackmail. We are offered to justify ourselves without presenting any evidence of what they are accused of. At the same time, they threaten with sanctions,” he said.
In addition, Morozov noted that the main thing in this situation is the reason to impose sanctions on Russia, and the truth does not matter.
