WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Moscow categorically rejects the statements on Russia made in the State Department's report on human rights and believes that by such attacks Washington is trying to shake up the situation in Russia, the Russian embassy in Washington, DC said in a statement on Tuesday.
The embassy explained that the attacks against Russia largely boil down to challenging the legality of its special military operation in Ukraine and unsubstantiated allegations of violations of international humanitarian law by the Russian Armed Forces.
"In the same row is slander about internal repression and suppression of freedom of speech in our country," the embassy said. "We categorically reject these accusations. This is not the first time Washington has played the human rights card in vain attempts to shake up the internal political situation in Russia."
