The US Embassy explained the detention of its employees in Severodvinsk
According to a spokeswoman for the US embassy, American diplomats brought to Severodvinsk a love of Russia and a desire to "better understand and recognize it." She explained that all diplomatic staff in all countries, including Russian, do this when traveling through the United States.
- she said.
Recall that on October 14 of this year in Severodvinsk three employees of the American embassy were removed from the train, who tried to get to the Nenoks training ground, where the engine of a promising rocket was tested. As it turned out later, a naval attache at the embassy of the United States of America, captain of the first rank Whitsitt William Curtis, attache at the US embassy Arriola Jerry Anthony and military attache at the US embassy, Colonel D.S. Dunne, indeed received permission to visit the Russian city, but not Severodvinsk, but Arkhangelsk. Arriving there, they reached Severodvinsk by car, where they transferred by train to the village near which the test site was located, but were stopped by police.
According to the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, the employees of the American embassy are constantly trying to penetrate into the closed regions of Russia.
