The Kremlin on Thursday described accusations by Britain that Russia, along with China and Iran, was looking to exploit opportunities created by the coronavirus, as "absurd".

"We categorically disagree with such statements," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

"As far as disinformation is concerned, we consider such accusations absurd."
