U.S. State Department chief Mike Pompeo accused Russia, China, and Iran of spreading 2019-nCov coronavirus infection (COVID-19) disinformation. After which he announced that the agency had already requested these countries to stop disseminating such information. This was March 20, 2020 reported by Bloomberg.

We have clearly seen that the integrated disinformation campaign comes from countries such as China, Russia and Iran

- said Pompeo at a press conference.

Moscow has already reacted to the next accusations. According to Alexei Pushkov, a member of the Federation Council of Russia, a large number of infected and dissatisfied in the United States is the result of the activities of Washington itself, and not the work of Moscow.

Secretary of State Pompeo, known for his flexible attitude to the truth, has accused Russia of "misinformation about the coronavirus." But if in the USA there are many thousands of infected and even more dissatisfied, this is a scan of the US authorities, and not Russia's fault at all. No need to blame from a sore head for a healthy

- wrote Pushkov in a Twitter account, commenting on the words of Pompeo.

It must be recalled that this is not the first accusation of Russia from the West. On February 22, 2020, the deputy head of the US State Department for Europe and Eurasia, Philip Ricker, accused Moscow of spreading fakes related to the coronavirus and of trying to "sow discord," undermining citizens' trust in government institutions. Allegedly, many accounts related to Russia spread rumors that COVID-19 was developed by the US CIA.

Before this, on March 16, 2020, a specially created anti-Russian “working group” of the European Union, He accused Russia in the distribution of fakes and other false information regarding the coronavirus.

In turn, Moscow then replied that all the accusations were unfounded, emphasizing that Russophobic hysteria against the West was continuing towards Russia.

    Well, why were fakes about the American origin of the virus needed? And one more "literate":

    ... a large number of infected ...

    Looks like official hunger for official propaganda?

        And only on one Reporter, purely for example, how many articles were there, now with a hint, then with a direct statement about this? Do not think that we write, they don’t read anywhere else. Or I did not immediately realize, maybe you suddenly think that this is true?

      Well, why did you need fakes about the American origin of the virus?

      Learn theory. These "fakes" were dismissed by the Americans themselves.

    And why is the United States silent about the fact that they created and spread the coronavirus to countries that do not want to adhere to sanctions against Russia. It turns out that the loudest: "Stop the thief!" - shouts the thief himself.

    Interestingly, and in the Kremlin - services under the law on fakes will start to fine sites?
    Or are only "non-patriotic" fakes counted?

    Fake - he is also a fake in the Netherlands (this is me about MH-17), people will just now make those products with which they, in the wake of these fakes, have packed their apartments with boxes of stewed meat, pasta, toilet paper, etc., to the very ceiling, and to what seas those hucksters from trade who instantly profited from all this hysteria will go to, and our people, after all, spent about 80 billion rubles a week on these products, as our media reported.

      So they scored at the old price, but in any case it will not fall in price. Total: even if everything works out, they will resell at a profit ...
      The great one was again surprised at the rise in price of gasoline !!

      They wouldn’t remember about MN-17, somehow it’s already indecent. And your concern for our people is very touching:

      and our people, after all, spent about 80 billion rubles a week on these products, as our media reported.

      Who made him?

    It is good that in the Middle Ages in the World there was no Pompeo and the Internet. laughing
    More than half of Europe from the plague died. Russia with the culture of the Russian stove and bathhouse would probably be to blame for the fact that the Germans came up with a cologne instead of washing themselves?
