MOSCOW, January 26. /TASS/.

Peskov noted that he had nothing to say on the issue.

"If Dutch newspapers want to add fuel to the fire of anti-Russian hysteria that exists in America, this is not the most noble occupation," the Kremlin spokesman pointed out. He stressed that "we have neither heard nor seen any statements from the Dutch special services on that score," adding that Dutch newspapers are not the most reliable source either.
