Prime Minister Robert Abela has rubbished a report in The Telegraph which claimed on February 13 that the United States was worried that Russia might be attempting to use Malta “for its malign activities in the Mediterranean region”.
Defence Editor Con Coughlin claimed that Malta has become “the latest target of Russian activity – to the consternation of both the US and the EU”.
A spokesperson for the Prime Minister said, “Malta stands shoulder-to-shoulder with our European allies and the Ukrainian people against all actions that violate international law. It also stands ready to offer humanitarian assistance. This is Malta’s position. Any other speculation is baseless.”
