However, there was no response from the newspaper a few hours after the repeated accusation. In this regard, the head of the RDIF left a comment. in which he expressed his intention to sue the publication.

"Tomorrow we will file an application to the court. We gave them enough time to fix it, but they didn't fix it anyway," Dmitriev stressed.
