Russia on Tuesday slammed as ‘baseless’ accusations by the EU and Britain that its intelligence agencies were behind a campaign of cyber attacks on Europe. London and Brussels announced new coordinated sanctions against Russia on Monday over what they called ‘the Russian state’s persistent and increasingly reckless attempts to sow chaos and division/ across Europe’.// Moscow has for years been accused of being behind cyber attacks, election interference attempts and digital sabotage targeting NATO countries. ‘We do not accept any of these accusations,’ Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in response to a question by AFP. ‘These accusations are always baseless, they are never substantiated and we never hear any evidence,’ he said. He also said Russia considered the sanctions which targeted officers of Russia’s GRU military intelligence agency ‘illegal’, adding that they would have no impact on Moscow’s policy. ‘We have adapted to the tens of thousands of sanctions that have been imposed against our country,’ he said. ‘We have learned how to circumvent these sanctions, we have learned how to minimise the negative impact of these sanctions. We will continue to do so in the future,’ Peskov added. source: AFP Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
