WASHINGTON - The United States on Monday accused Moscow of attempting to intimidate and harass American employees after Russian state media reported that a former US consulate worker had been charged by security services with collecting information on the war in Ukraine and other issues for Washington.
The FSB said it planned to question US embassy employees who were in contact with Shonov, who has been under arrest since May. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller repeated the US position that the allegations against Shonov, whom Washington said was subsequently employed via a company contracted to the US embassy to summarise news reports, “are wholly without merit”.
