This is nothing more than the continuation of the Russophobic campaign, based on no evidence," Peskov told journalists, commenting on a relevant statement by the British Foreign Office, an UNIAN correspondent in Russia reported.

As UNIAN reported earlier, British ministers said the Russian military was directly behind a "malicious" cyber attack on Ukraine last summer, which later spread across Europe.
