What is the attitude of the British government to Arkady Mamontovs sensational film Spies?
We don’t comment on espionage charges. Paradoxical as it is, if you start to comment on such charges, you become more confused and do not clear up the situation for society. Nonetheless, accusations have been leveled against the British embassy that Russian noncommercial organizations are being funded by Great Britain through the special services. That charges are completely unjustified. The United Kingdom works with a large number of NCOs and pursues goals that are of value to both Russia and Britain. Our activity is absolutely transparent. For example, we are preparing a project to rain lawyers to protect victims of violence. Doesn’t the Mamontov film remind you of the times of the Cold War? The Cold War is, fortunately, in the past. Now Russia and Great Britain cooperate in many areas. And I hope that, in the future, our cooperation will become only stronger. And we will not return to the disagreements that came between us in the past. Do you plan to decrease financial aid to Russia
