Russia on Friday summoned the deputy head of Canada's embassy in Moscow in connection with "false accusations" of allegedly planned "Russian sabotage" against NATO countries.
"On November 8, the Deputy Head of the Canadian diplomatic mission in Moscow was summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry, where he was handed an official note in connection with false accusations of allegedly planned 'Russian sabotage' against NATO countries with the mailing, including to addressees in Canada, of explosives in postal correspondence," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Ottawa has repeatedly accused Moscow of engaging in "malicious cyber activity" and had expressed concerns earlier this week about the Russian involvement in sending "camouflaged incendiary devices" aboard cargo planes.
"The (Canadian) diplomat was told that the said speculations, disseminated at the instigation of the United States and its satellites in the context of the hybrid war unleashed against Russia and the pumping up of the regime in Kyiv with modern weapons, as well as the participation of mercenaries from Canada in military actions on the side of the Kyiv regime with the blessing of the government of Justin Trudeau, indicate the probable preparation of a gross anti-Russian provocation," the Russian Foreign Ministry statement added.
Moscow warned that the responsibility for any escalation "under a false flag" will fall entirely on countries, including Canada, that are making "unacceptable accusations" against Russia. (more...)
