MOSCOW. Sept 5 (Interfax) - The story about the publication of the report on the Skripals affair is a hell of a merry-go-round with no beginning and no end, the Russian foreign ministry said.
"It's like through the looking glass: on the one hand we are being told to provide information on the people of whom we have just found out, seen these pictures and seen these names; and right away we are being told that the names are made-up and the documents fake," the ministry's spokesperson Maria Zakharova told the "60 Minutes" program on the television channel Rossiya 1 (VGTRK).
For five months Russia has been asking for "at least some information in order to start looking for people possibly involved in the crimes alleged by London," Zakharova said.
"But this is not a theater of the absurd, this is not some through-the-looking-glass thing. This is a real hell of a merry-go-round that has no beginning and no end!" she said.
