Moscow faces widespread allegations that it interfered in the
U.S. presidential election and was behind a wave of destructive
global hacking attacks. It has denied any involvement in either.
"We urge concentrating on (the) elaboration and implementation
of specific additional confidence building measures in order to
secure the cyber security and not to waste breath with unfounded
accusations without any fact," Sergei Lavrov told a meeting of
foreign ministers from OSCE countries.
Lavrov also urged member states to consolidate efforts in the
fight against drugs in sport, two days after Russia was banned
from the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympic after the International
Olympic Committee (IOC) said it had found evidence of
"systematic manipulation" of the anti-doping system.
"We confirm our proposal to establish in the (OSCE) secretariat
a separate anti-drug structure," Lavrov said.
The Russian foreign minister also said Russia would continue to
implement OSCE projects for the training of counter narcotic
police officers.
