"We categorically reject all fabrications about our country's alleged attempts to influence the political situation in the United States," Antonov's words are quoted on the Facebook page of the Russian diplomatic mission.

He noted that Russia does not interfere in the internal affairs of other states.

The ambassador added that there is a feeling that some politicians want to divert attention from the internal problems of the United States in this way.

Earlier, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken reminded Moscow and Beijing that the United States is an extremely powerful state.
