A report of the Intelligence and Security Committee in the British Parliament stated that Russia interfered in the 2014 Scotland referendum, and that the British government failed to conduct a deep assessment of a possible Kremlin interference in the Brexit referendum.

The report - which was prepared in March of last year but was suspended until Tuesday - said, "There is reliable statement from a well-known source indicating that Russia implemented campaigns to influence the referendum on independence for Scotland in 2014."

The report said there were indications from a known source that Russia had sought to influence the Brexit campaign, but that the British government had not looked for stronger evidence of intervention.

The report describes Russia as a hostile country which represents a major threat to the United Kingdom and the West on a number of fronts, ranging from espionage, electronic attacks, interference to elections, and money laundering.

"Russia appears to regard the United Kingdom as one of its most important espionage targets in the West," the report said.

The report, which was leaked by the website, "Guaido Foxes" on the Internet before it was published, stated that the British government had failed enough to verify possible Russian interference in the Brexit referendum held in 2016.

The Kremlin said that Russia had never interfered in the elections of another country, and Russia had repeatedly denied interference in the West, and said that the United States and Britain had been touched by an obsession with it.

When the parliamentary report addressed the exit referendum, many of it was blocked by shading it.

"Nevertheless, the committee considers that British intelligence services should provide a similar assessment of a possible Russian interference in the European Union referendum, and that a non-confidential part be published," the report said.

The report pointed out that it was not possible to find specific evidence of Russian interference in the 2016 ballot on Brexit, and in another referendum organized in 2014 about Scotland's independence from Britain, in which the rejectionist camp won by 55% compared to 45%.

The British government has said that there is no evidence of a successful Russian interference in the referendum on the country’s exit from the European Union, rejecting calls by the Intelligence and Security Committee in Parliament to conduct an assessment of Russian interference in the vote.

"We have not seen any evidence of a successful intervention in the European Union referendum," she added in response to the commission's report on Russian interference in British affairs.

"Any retrospective evaluation of the EU referendum is not necessary," she said.
