"Such actions amount to nothing less than gross interference in internal affairs," she said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman of Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has said at the end of October, US Ambassador to Dhaka Peter Haas met with a member of the local opposition party to discuss plans for organising anti-government rallies.
"Such actions amount to nothing less than gross interference in internal affairs," she said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"We have repeatedly highlighted the attempts by the US and its allies to influence the internal political processes in Bangladesh under the guise of ensuring that the upcoming parliamentary elections in the country are transparent and inclusive," Maria Zakharova said.
