«This, of course, is the height of fakery,» Maria Zakharova, a spokesperson for Russia’s Foreign Ministry, said in a statement.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has dismissed reports that he was hospitalized after arriving in Indonesia’s resort island of Bali for this week’s G-20 Summit as a «political game.»
Indonesian officials were cited by news agency The Associated Press on Monday as saying that the official had been taken to hospital after suffering a health problem, and that he was being treated on the island.
