SCOOP! Zakharova: How Did UK Tricked Ally Countries? A Bogus Powerpoint Filled With Fake News
We now know exactly how the UK convinced their allies to follow their example and expel Russian diplomats. The Kommersant has published a document that was presented at the British Embassy in Moscow to other countries' reps.
It turned out to be a 6-page presentation with pictures.
The first slide shows the timeline of the event, maps, and pictures of the Skripals and the injured policeman. However, details of the attack itself aren't given.
The second slide has facts about Novichok, the name of the nerve agent that the British are accusing Russia of making. It's interesting that Russia's fault on the slide isn't indicated by the good old "highly likely". Instead, they claim Russia is definitely responsible for the attack because there's no other explanation.
The third slide explains how Novichok affects a human body, and how many people were injured in the incident, along with how many military policemen were involved in the investigation.
The presentation ends with anti-Russia measures that the UK allies are expected to take.
The MFA's official rep Maria Zakharova has commented on this document on Facebook.
"Well, here we go! The Kommersant got its hands on the secret documents that convinced the US and the EU countries to expel Russian diplomats after they agreed with London about Russia's alleged involvement in Skripals' case. Theresa May messed up. We've exposed the greatest manipulation of world opinion in which the UK authorities are involved. Get a load of this. Based on 6 pictures, they have made decisions to make a country responsible for a chemical attack".
