Peskov was asked during a press call to comment on a statement by British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who accused Russia of spreading disinformation. “The incitement of Russophobic sentiments and such an atmosphere of total Russophobia is what Britain is doing,” the Kremlin spokesman said.
Speaking at the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, Mr. Burnham announced the creation of a new information security centre in the UK. The new structure will detect and neutralize information attacks. The British authorities have repeatedly spoken about the threat from Russia. According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, the UK adheres to a “sharply confrontational line”. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov believes that the influence of the UK on geopolitical events has decreased significantly.
