The correspondent writes that Newsweek became aware of the actions of the U.S. military, tracking accounts Sputnik on social networks for distribution of allegedly false information about the outbreak of coronavirus infection. In this connection, he requested review of the Agency.
Russian diplomats have said that Russia and the United States regularly exchange information about the pandemic at the highest level.
