MOSCOW. Sept 5 (Interfax) - Moscow's official position on the Skripals affair is that Russian and British law enforcers should start cooperating, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
"In London they've already stopped distinguishing between an official position and media material (...) Moscow's official position is the endless insistence and demand for official London that our law enforcement authorities should begin to cooperate," the ministry's spokesperson Maria Zakharova told the television channel Rossiya 1 on Wednesday.
"The whole absurdity of what is happening today is an attempt by Britain yet again to mislead everyone, make someone laugh, make someone perceive all this as nonsense and switch to another channel," Zakharova said.
For almost half a year now the world has heard nothing about the whereabouts of Sergei Skripal and the condition of his daughter Yulia, the spokeswoman said.
