Russia: Russia has never interfered in any elections in the United States

　　China News Agency, Moscow, March 17 (Reporter Wang Xiujun) Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov stated at a press conference in Moscow on the 17th that Russia has never interfered in any elections in the United States.

　　On the 16th, the U.S. intelligence agency issued a report stating that Russia had intervened in the 2020 U.S. election in an attempt to negatively affect the then presidential candidate Biden and the Democratic Party, while destroying public confidence in the election process and increasing American society Political differences.

On the 17th, the American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) released a video interview with U.S. President Biden. Biden emphasized that Russia should pay the price for interference in the U.S. election.

　　In this regard, Peskov said that Russia does not agree with the US side.

The Russian side once again expressed regret for this, because the US used such inferior material to induce another round of sanctions against Russia.

This strategy will once again cause damage to the already damaged relationship between the two countries.

　　Peskov said that Russia will be forced to take all necessary measures to hedge against possible sanctions (imposed by the United States).

　　Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova said in an interview on the "Russia 24" television channel that day that the so-called "Russian interference in the US elections" is a lie and a fabricated one.

The US intelligence service only wants to prove that its existence and the huge budget it has obtained are reasonable.

The US intelligence community has been "repeating the same thing" for many years: worrying about being interfered, and confirming that the intervention or planned intervention does exist.

　　Zakharova said that now is the time for the United States to consider something that is more concerned, fresher, and closer to reality.

　　The Chairman of the Russian State Duma (lower house of parliament) Vorokin stated on social networking sites that what Biden said was beyond common sense and "is a manifestation of hysteria."
