“The requests of the Russian competent authorities regarding cyberattacks remain without a reaction from the American side.
In 2020, there were 45 of them, and in the first half of 2021 - 35. For our part, we satisfied 10 applications from the United States last year and two this year, ”Antonov said.
Earlier, US Deputy Assistant Attorney General Richard Downing said that Russia tops the list of countries from whose territories cyberattacks against the United States are carried out.
At the same time, he said, he "would not argue that the Russian government is behind these attacks."
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stressed that Washington has not yet given an unambiguous answer to Moscow's initiative to start a dialogue on cybersecurity.
