London Will Have to Offer Apologies to Moscow, 'Idiocy Has Gone Too Far'

"London somehow will have to offer its apologies to the Russian side, but obviously it is going to be a long story and the idiocy of it has gone too far," he told journalists commenting the situation over the notorious former GRU Colonel Sergei Skripal case, TASS reported.

Peskov said he was sure the United Kingdom’s accusations would never be proved.

"The British Foreign Secretary [Boris Johnson], who accused President [Vladimir] Putin, and the British Prime Minister [Theresa May] will have to look in the eyes of their EU colleagues after telling them what they told," he added.

Peskov stated that the United Kingdom’s accusations against Russia on the Skripal case are receiving eloquent counter evidence.

"The situation was iniquitous for us from the very beginning. And now there emerge evidence that these mad accusations the British side voiced just a few hours after the incident are based on nothing. These are telling official evidence from experts," he told journalists commenting on Sky News recent reports on the Salisbury incident.
