Kremlin Declines to Comment on US Allegations Involving Russian Intelligence
Spokesman Dmitry Peskov says Moscow will not react to US Justice Department claims without concrete evidence.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow sees no reason to comment on recent statements from the United States Department of Justice alleging that certain individuals in the US were working for Russian intelligence services, according to Russian state news agency TASS.
Peskov said that until "any plausible evidence" is presented to support the allegations, there is no basis for the Kremlin to respond, TASS reported.
The statement comes after reports that US authorities have made claims regarding individuals allegedly linked to Russian intelligence operations, though specific details of the Justice Department's allegations were not immediately outlined in the TASS report.
TASS did not provide further details on the nature of the allegations, the identities of the individuals involved, or the timing of the Justice Department's statements.
The Kremlin has previously taken a similar stance on other allegations from US officials and agencies, typically declining to comment until formal evidence is made public.
