Kaspersky Lab's services surpass competitors' services, politicized decision made in U.S. on this company - Peskov

MOSCOW. July 12 (Interfax) - The Kremlin has called the decision to remove Kaspersky Lab from the list of software suppliers in the United States politicized.

"Yes, we know about that. No doubt, we believe it is a politicized decision. This company is absolutely commercial. It provides commercial services, commercial services that are not only competitive, but surpass the services provided by competitors worldwide," Russian presidential press officer Dmitry Peskov told reporters, commenting on the situation with Kaspersky Lab.

"We regret such decisions. But on the other hand the company has the necessary legal arsenal to defend its interests. Of course, Russia as a state will also continue doing everything possible to defend the interests of our companies abroad. We consider that our duty," he said.
