The Russian Foreign Ministry has demanded that Spanish President Pedro Sánchez present concrete evidence of his alleged involvement in the Ceuta crisis. Russian authorities believe that without tangible facts, there is nothing to discuss, emphasizing the need for materials that support the claims made by the Spanish leader.

According to statements from the spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, the Spanish government should formally submit its complaints through official channels instead of making public statements. The spokesperson criticized Madrid for turning to the media to present its accusations without the necessary evidence.

Russia has also responded to the accusations made by Sánchez, indicating that when serious claims are made, there must be concrete facts that can be verified. The spokesperson emphasized that only after verification can dialogue be opened regarding these accusations, which must be taken seriously.

In this context, Israel has also joined in, backing Russia's position by labeling the allegations as unfounded.
