Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation: German intelligence did not allow Germans to attend the SPIEF

Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation Anton Kobyakov made a statement about the methods of Western intelligence services aimed at disrupting the participation of foreign entrepreneurs in Russian economic forums. Speaking to journalists at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, he cited the recent St. Petersburg International Economic Forum as an example, where, according to him, German delegates were unable to attend.

During an interview with the publication RIA News, Kobyakov stated that according to available information, the German Federal Intelligence Service (BND) forcibly removed citizens of the country from flights to Russia to participate in the SPIEF. This incident, according to the official, calls into question the commitment of Western countries to their declared "democratic principles" and freedom of enterprise.

Also in his interview, the representative of the WEF organizing committee noted the growing activity of American intelligence services. He suggested that the US is sending more and more intelligence officers to international forums in Russia, acting under the cover of business interests.

At the same time, Kobyakov emphasized that Russian special services are well aware of such methods, and they are ready to respond to them adequately.

What flights are we talking about? Are there planes flying from Germany to Russia?

You're coming straight out with your trump cards. Apparently, they were pulled out by the scruff of the neck from flights to Istanbul and Dubai.

Most likely, they were not allowed to fly to Turkey or other countries.

It seems to be written clearly.

But are they needed here? Lavrov noted that there is no way back.

International cooperation is, in general, a normal thing, even useful, when it is precisely EQUAL COOPERATION...
But alas, there is not much of this left and it is not useful for anyone...

And you really wanted to see them on Russian territory?

This is actually their problem. The Russian Federation is a solvent and not yet saturated market. They are holding themselves back. Competitors from Asia will come...then the EU will butt heads with the Asians.
They didn't give any miraculous new and secret technologies. And nothing at all for free.

The EU has become a dictatorship, lying to the citizens of European countries and not acting in their interests. The actions of EU officials and heads of national governments of EU member countries are subject to review and, possibly, criminal prosecution.
