In a conversation with TASS, the press secretary of the head of state emphasized that such attacks in general never weaken and are always at the maximum level.

“Since they are generally at the maximum level, now I simply cannot differentiate whether this is related to the elections or not,” Peskov said.

Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that the West regards the elections as an opportunity to shake up the situation in the country.

The Russian presidential elections will be held on March 17, and it will be possible to cast your vote for one or another candidate, including remotely. Earlier, CEC Chairman Ella Pamfilova said that 1.58 million voters submitted applications to participate in online voting.
