The Kremlin does not believe that the media buzz on Russia’s alleged role in the recently reported cyber attacks on the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) are grounds for reshuffling the country’s top brass, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
"Certainly, information of this quality cannot be any reason for this," Peskov said, when asked about potential plans to reshuffle the Defense Ministry or the General Staff following Dutch claims that staff members of the Main Directorate of the Russian General Staff, known as the GRU, were involved in the “cyber attacks” on the world’s chemical weapons watchdog.
According to Peskov, media reports on this incident contain unspecified information without giving detailed evidence in this case. "We neither know the arguments, nor the particular aspects, nor the evidence, that’s why we prefer not to comment in this case," he noted.
Russia is ready to study the evidence related to the cyber attack incidents provided it comes from the Netherlands through official sources, and not from the mass media, the Kremlin spokesman emphasized.
Peskov remarked that Russia did not regard western media reports about such an “attack” as sufficient proof.
"No, this does not constitute evidence. Established and functioning channels exist between the corresponding agencies, within the framework of the mechanism for providing legal assistance and so forth. Documents, evidence and official information are transmitted via these channels. We are ready to consider it. But we have no intention of discussing such topics through the mass media," Peskov stressed.
Earlier, the United Kingdom, Canada, the Netherlands and the United States accused Russia’s GRU officers of an attempted string of ‘hacker attacks’, among the alleged targets were the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and linked these attacks to the Salisbury incident. UK’s Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Jeremy Hunt said that London would discuss with its allies further sanctions against Russia in response to the actions he describes as violation of international norms. The Kremlin has repeatedly denied any involvement in any cyber attacks habitually ascribed to Moscow by Western countries

ABD Savunma Bakanlığınca düzenlenen basın açıklamasında 7 Rus ajanının isimleri verilerek Rus Dış İstihbarat Servisi'nin, İngiltere, Kanada, ABD ve Hollanda'daki siber saldırılardan sorumlu tutulmasına Rusya Devlet Başkanı sözcüsü Dmitry Peskov aracılığıyla cevap verildi.
'Bir Panoya Yazılı Yedi İsim, Siber Saldırı Kanıtı Olamaz'
Peskov, 'Bu kalitede bir bilgi, hiçbir şeyin kanıtı olamaz.' ifadesini kullandı. Medya haberlerinin bu konuda detaylı bir kanıta dayanmayan belirsiz bilgi içerdiğinin altını çizdi.
'Öne sürdükleri argümanları da diğer yönlerini de, kanıtları da bilmiyoruz. Bu yüzden bu konuda yorum yapmamayı tercih ettik.Hollanda'nın resmi kaynaklarından siber saldırıya ilişkin kanıtların gönderilmesi halinde Rusya çalışma yapmaya hazırdır. Rusya, batı medyası kaynaklarını bir saldırı için yeterli bir kanıt olarak ele almayacaktır 'dedi.
