How do you know when a Russian politician or official is lying?
You can see their lips move
You are probably right, the whole story sounds like an excuse. And, after all the blatant lies they kept spewing over the years, including stuff like "Russia has never attacked anyone", I don't trust anything coming from their side. It's like they are trying to say: "Look, the cargo passed through all these border crossings, and nobody could detect the explosives. So, our border check was not poorly done, it's just that the explosives were really well hidden.".
