MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said on Thursday that it has information suggesting that new European warmongers are launching a campaign to undermine the peace efforts of US President Donald Trump.
“The press office of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Russia reports that, according to information received by the SVR, the newly-minted European warmongers are launching a campaign to undermine President Trump’s peacekeeping efforts,” the SVR said in a statement.
UK and French intelligence services are persistently sending people from the Anti-Corruption Foundation*, the Proekt and Meduza projects (both recognized as undesirable in Russia) who fled Russia to fabricate accusations against Trump’s entourage of covert ties with Russian political and business circles, the statement read.
“Falling into old patterns, European intelligence services once again demonstrate their commitment to formulaic and dishonest means to achieve a criminal goal — to make the conflict in Ukraine between European NATO member states and Russia endless,” the SVR said.
Europe wants to use falsifications to discredit US policy and torpedo the negotiation process on the Ukraine settlement, the statement said, adding that London and Paris are showing the greatest interest in information about US business projects with Gazprom, Rosneft, Rostec and Rosatom.
