Russian intelligence accuses Washington of trying to interfere in the presidential elections. Expectations indicate that Russian President Vladimir Putin (71 years old) will win easily, allowing him to continue in power until 2030.
Putin recently warned the West that any attempts by foreign powers to interfering in the Russian presidential elections will be considered a hostile act. Last week, the Kremlin said that Russia would not interfere in US presidential elections scheduled for next November, and rejected American reports that Moscow had organized campaigns to influence the US elections.
