Russia Reacts to Netherlands’ “Political Prisoners” Comments
(MENAFN) The Russian Embassy in the Netherlands on Friday condemned statements made by the Dutch Foreign Ministry regarding “political prisoners” in Russia.
The embassy described these remarks as “unacceptable interference” in the domestic affairs of Russia.
It expressed “with growing bewilderment” the Dutch authorities’ “attempts to publicly challenge the verdicts of Russian courts in a completely unfounded manner.”
The statement suggested that Dutch officials would be better served focusing their “considerable talents” on addressing their own urgent challenges, such as “political disagreements on migration, the housing crisis, and rising prices caused by the rejection of Russian energy resources.”
The embassy also accused The Hague of demonstrating “disregard for the difficulties of their own farmers” while pursuing “suicidal support for Ukraine to the detriment of their own citizens’ interests.”
“We call on the Dutch Foreign Ministry to refrain from making unacceptable assessments of internal political processes in the Russian Federation and to engage in diplomacy rather than populism,” the statement added.
Meanwhile, the Dutch government has consistently expressed concerns about human rights and political freedoms in Russia, particularly regarding the detention of opposition leaders and activists.
