Zakharova: Britain should be held accountable for its crimes in Iraq.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement to London on Sunday that Britain was planning to invade and occupy Iraq. The United States has participated; So it can not take a stand on the current crisis.
A spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry said: “Britain has a clear historical responsibility for the events in the region, the killing of Iraqis, the overthrow of the Iraqi government and the rise of ISIS and the occurrence of a humanitarian catastrophe in this country.” Forty-five thousand British troops helped the United States to occupy Iraq and kill its citizens and plunder its wealth.
He added: “Unless London is held accountable for its crimes, its authorities have no right to accuse anyone of anything.”
Hours ago, British Foreign Secretary Liz Terras, in an article published in the Telegraph newspaper, openly intervened in the refugee crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border.
“Russia has a clear role to play in this,” he said. The Russians must press the Belarusian authorities to end the crisis and enter into talks.
He claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin had a clear responsibility to put an end to what he thought was a Minsk attempt to use immigrants to destabilize the region.
Terrace also warned that Britain was ready to take strong, decisive and relentless action in response to malicious actions, wherever they were in the world.
The British Foreign Secretary also called on the European Union to reconsider its dependence on Russia for gas supplies by canceling the Rolling Stream 2 pipeline project.
Despite the claim, Moscow has repeatedly stressed that gas is not a tool to put pressure on others.
Terrace claims about the refugee crisis on the Belarusian-Polish border also come as Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday denied Moscow’s claim of helping to organize a crisis that has trapped hundreds of Middle Eastern migrants on the Belarusian-Polish border.
“I want everyone to know,” Putin said, blaming Western policies in the Middle East for creating the current crisis of migration from Belarus, we have nothing to do with it.
