Such a point is contained in the president's statement published by the Kremlin "on a comprehensive program of measures to restore Russian-American cooperation in the field of international information security."

In it, Putin calls the challenge of our time "the risk of a large-scale confrontation in the digital sphere."

According to him, a special responsibility for its prevention lies with the key players in the field of international information security, in connection with which Russia appeals to the United States with a proposal to approve a comprehensive program of practical measures to reset relations in the use of information and communication technologies (ICT).

"In a mutually acceptable form, exchange guarantees of non-interference in each other's internal affairs, including electoral processes, including using ICT and high-tech methods," reads one of the points of the statement.

In addition, Putin notes the need for Russia and the United States to maintain communication channels to reduce nuclear and IT threats.

The statement also refers to the proposal to develop and conclude a bilateral intergovernmental agreement on "prevention of incidents in the information space."

In February, Putin noted that the power of information weapons will only increase.
