The police also did not interfere with the shares.

The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, denies the involvement of the authorities in this action. "The Foreign Ministry never called for activists or representatives of the civil society to conduct any manifestations opposite the embassies of foreign countries for a single simple reason: the Russian Federation fulfills obligations, including the Vienna Convention, which we are obliged to provide security and guarantee a certain level of security for foreign operations," she said "Moscow said".

On the eve of London , a protest was held at the Russian Embassy . The entrance to the consular department was littered with units from mannequins, and the protesters in T -shirts with the inscriptions "save Aleppo" chained themselves to the grate.

The Russian Embassy in London sent a note of protest at the British Foreign Ministry. "A real threat of the safety of the diplomatic mission in the UK was created.

At the same time, the telephone lines of the Zagranuchevka were blocked - the embassy was attacked by the shaft of" empty "telephone calls," the report said.

The diplomatic detention was connected with a protest campaign with the performance of the British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson in parliament. “It seems that the specified“ protest action ”, which destabilized the work of the diplomatic mission, was carefully planned, which is not surprising in the context of the recent official call in the parliament of the British Foreign Minister B. Johnson to conduct protests at the walls of the Russian embassy in London,” the press release said.

According to the BBC, the action was arranged by the activists of The Syria Campaign. They protested against a large -scale attack on Syrian Aleppo, which Russia can deploy against the background of elections in the United States. "The coming offensive of Russia on Aleppo under counter -terrorist slogans may mean the murder of thousands of civilians who cannot leave the city. World governments are not doing enough to stop these performances," the organization said.

On Friday, Zakharova called the action in London "disgusting". “It is depressing that young guys took part in this action, who have no concepts of what is happening in Syria and, moreover, in Aleppo,” said the representative of the Foreign Ministry. “They did not even understand that the money spent on this action could simply be transferred to children's hospitals in Syria, where children really sew their arms and legs torn during military operations.”
