Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has commented Lukashenka’s accusations against Russia.
Sergei Lavrov has dismissed as blasphemous the allegations that the Russian side could be involved in the Molotov cocktails attack on the Russian embassy in Minsk.
“I do not want to comment on these blasphemous statements,” Lavrov said, answering a question of Interfax in Baku on Friday.
As said by the minister, he “had heard from reports of mass media that some “trace” already has been found, and there are suspects”. “Let us wait for the official inquiry results. I think they will be the best answer,” he noted.
On August 30 the unknown hurled two fire bombs onto the territory of the Russian embassy in Minsk. A car was burnt. A 0.3-liter glass bottle containing traces of flammable substance and another bottle’s fragments with a wick were found by police experts at the scene. A criminal case was opened on hooliganism charges.
On September 1 Alyaksandr Lukashenka stated that law-enforcing agencies are carefully studying the version of possible involvement of the Russian side in the attack which had taken place at the territory of the Russian Embassy in Minsk.
