Kremlin: British defense secretary doesn't know what he says comparing Russia to IS

MOSCOW. Feb 19 (Interfax) - The Kremlin sees the British defense secretary's remark comparing Russia to Islamic State as devoid of common sense.

"The person who could say this is unlikely to understand what kind of substance he is talking about," Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov told the Russian News Service in commenting on British Defense Secretary Michael Fallon's remark to the effect that Russian President Vladimir Putin poses "as great a threat to Europe as Islamic State."
