Rebholz's compatriots asked him to clarify the sources of the information voiced by the department.
"According to media reports…". I expect more accurate and reliable information from my government" — wrote José Daynes.
«Design evacuation plans that would not require the assistance of the US government.» Please explain the situation in more detail,» Mark Murphy addressed the embassy. «According to media sources…. I did not know that the State Department relies on media sources… This is ridiculous,» Mikhail Yakobson believes. The American side did not specify did she bring information about the “risk of terrorist attacks” to Russian officials through official channels, including those provided for in the framework of cooperation on combating terrorism.
