Russia's President Vladimir Putin has again dismissed the ongoing accusations that Moscow has intervened in election campaigns in the United States and in European countries.
Speaking today to a group of editors and media executives in Russia, Mr. Putin has again blamed Washington for deepening tensions between Russia and the United States.
These comments have been made a day after the publication of a report commissioned by US Senator Ben Cardin, who records that for nearly two decades, Russian efforts have been made to influence politics throughout Europe.
In this report, American President Donald Trump is also criticized for having done little to investigate the issue in the United States.
Since January 2017, when U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded that Russia was engaged in hackerism and propaganda campaigns to influence American presidential elections in 2016, Moscow has repeatedly dismissed the allegations of involvement.
