Russian foreign ministry hit back at the United Kingdom, saying that its accusations that the two suspects in the former Russian spy Sergei Skripal poisoning case, Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov lied, are unacceptable.
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Moscow is planning to hold a demarche in relation to the United States's new insinuations on the case of Russian national Maria Butina.
"We will hold a new demarche in the State Department in connection with the insinuations of American official structures against us on Maria Butina's case," Zakharova said at a briefing.
