Moscow Shocked by Fake News About Russian Special Forces in Norway - Foreign Ministry

MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 03rd October, 2019) Moscow is shocked by anti-Russian fake stories about Russian special forces in Norway, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Thursday.

Earlier, Norwegian media outlets reported that Russian special forces allegedly appeared in the kingdom.

"We are shocked by some strange information activity of the Russophobic part, perhaps the lobby inside Norway, maybe the lobby outside Norway. But the results, obviously, we saw on that state's media's pages. These were real massive anti-Russian fake stories, they appeared recently and concerned the alleged presence of Russian special forces and the active espionage activities of Russia's security services in Norway," Zakharova said at a briefing.

She slammed such activity as a total absence of principles and rejection of professional journalistic norms.

"Systematic work has been carried out in Norway recently to impose the image of the enemy in the person of Russia. This is an aggressive informational anti-Russian policy... We hope Norway will build relations with Russia based on long-term interests and genuinely partner-like respect, and not based on provocative fakes," Zakharova said.
