AMSTERDAM - The Russian Embassy in the Netherlands on Tuesday rejected as 'fake news' comments by the Dutch foreign minister about an aggressive Russian plan to create a greater Russia. Dutch Foreign Minister Halbe Zijlstra admitted on Monday he had lied in 2016 about attending a meeting at which Russian President Vladimir Putin was said to have detailed the expansion plans. 'Russia is being blamed for disseminating disinformation,' the embassy said in a statement. 'Dutch officials are constantly making such unfounded statements. ...Isn't this an example of fake news directed against our country?'
