A handout photograph released by the UK Parliament shows Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson during Prime Minister’s Questions in the House of Commons in London on July 15, 2020. JESSICA TAYLOR / AFP / UK PARLIAMENTBritish Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said on Sunday he was “absolutely confident” in allegations by the UK and its allies that Russia targeted labs conducting coronavirus research, branding the behaviour “outrageous and reprehensible”.
Moscow quickly rejected the accusations as “groundless”, and its ambassador to London said in a British television interview Sunday the claims made “no sense”. “At the time that the world has come together to try and tackle COVID-19… I think it’s outrageous and reprehensible that the Russian government is engaged in this activity.”
Kelin also rejected a separate claim by London that “Russian actors” sought to disrupt last year’s UK general election.Medical workers transport a woman into a hospital where patients infected with the COVID-19 novel coronavirus are being treated in the settlement of Kommunarka outside Moscow on April 27, 2020.
