Russian health agency offers US help fighting plague outbreaks

Russia's national health agency, Rospotrebnadzor, says it is concerned about outbreaks of plague and other infectious diseases in the United States and is ready to assist Washington in combating them. Observers see the offer as trolling, coming shortly after reports of plague cases in Russia's Irkutsk region, and it is drawing attention and mockery on Russian-speaking social media.

Why now: The agency's offer is widely read as a sarcastic jab amid plague reports in Irkutsk and ongoing Russia-US tensions.
