Russian Embassy Calls On US To Engage In Mending Ties In Wake Of Mueller Report Release

MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 20th April, 2019) The Russian embassy in the United States called on Washington to cooperate in repairing the damage inflicted to bilateral relation over the recent years, in the wake of the publication of US Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report that found no evidence of collusion between the campaign team of US President Donald Trump and Russia.

The embassy has released a 120-page report, analyzing the US allegations of Russia's meddling in the 2016 US presidential election, won by Trump. The embassy's report showed these claims were ill-founded.

"We call on our American partners to finally disavow these allegations [of Russia's meddling] and join efforts to repair the damage to bilateral relations, for the sake of our peoples and global security," the embassy said in the report.

"We hope that the end of the Mueller saga would contribute to further dispelling the smoke and mirrors on this topic. The first step - the disavowal of the "collusion theory" - was taken. But if all of the categorical allegations heard all this time turned out to be patently false, why not make the next logical move and fact-check the "Russian meddling" narrative?" the embassy pointed out.
