MOSCOW, 03 December 2021, (TON): The press bureau of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service said in a statement “after provocative and baseless statements by the head of British intelligence, Richard Moore, about alleged threats emanating from Russia, the atmosphere of a possible Russian-British dialogue at the level of intelligence services has been largely spoiled.”

Britain sees serious threats from Russia, British intelligence chief MI6 Richard Moore said “in his first major public appearance since taking office in October 2020. Lo-ndon will do its best to contain and repel the entire spectrum of threats from Moscow.”

The SVR press bureau points out “after such provocative, groundless insinuations about Moscow ‘s aggressive policy against Kiev, cyberattacks, imposed on teeth, etc., the atmosphere of a possible dialogue is largely spoiled.”

The statement said “from the head of the world ‘s most authoritative intelligence, such as MI6, we have the right to count on greater professionalism, an objective and dispassionate approach to assessing and presenting the British position on regional and international problems.”

Until the 1980s of the last century, the British authorities generally denied the very existence of their foreign intelligence service of the MI6 country, recalls the SVR.
