Kremlin Denies Russia Involvement In 'Havana Syndrome'

The Russian Embassy, as President Biden announces new sanctions on Russia, in Washington

The Kremlin has dismissed a recent report suggesting that Russia may be behind the mysterious 'Havana Syndrome' that has affected US diplomats and intelligence officers. The syndrome refers to a range of unexplained health symptoms experienced by individuals working in diplomatic missions, with the first cases reported in Havana, Cuba in 2016.

The report, which was commissioned by the US State Department, claimed that Russia was the most likely culprit behind the attacks. However, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov denied these allegations, stating that there was no evidence to support such claims.

According to the report, the symptoms experienced by the affected individuals include headaches, dizziness, and cognitive difficulties, with some cases resulting in long-term health issues. The exact cause of the syndrome remains unknown, with some experts suggesting that it could be the result of a targeted energy attack.

The US government has been investigating the Havana Syndrome cases for several years, with some officials linking the incidents to possible sonic or microwave attacks. The issue has strained relations between the US and Russia, with both countries accusing each other of being responsible for the attacks.

In response to the report, the Kremlin has called for a more thorough investigation into the origins of the Havana Syndrome, emphasizing the need for concrete evidence before making any accusations. Peskov reiterated that Russia has no involvement in the attacks and urged for a transparent and unbiased inquiry into the matter.

As the investigation continues, the affected individuals continue to seek answers and solutions to their health issues. The Havana Syndrome remains a complex and unresolved mystery, with diplomatic tensions between Russia and the US adding another layer of complexity to the situation.
