“Who are the masters of provocation? Of course the United States and NATO,” Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in an interview on state television last night.

She added, “In this case, it seems to me that the fact that these statements (about Russia) were made in the first minutes after these materials appeared leaves no doubt as to who ‘ordered’ this story.”
