Russia denies allegations of interference in US polls

Monitoring Desk

MOSCOW: Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov called “ungrounded” allegations about Kremlin’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Commenting on the findings of the U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation on the matter on Monday, Peskov said “the accusations that continue to be made against Russia are ungrounded”.

“It is difficult to find a black cat in a dark room especially if it is not there. The published part of the Mueller’s report does not contain anything new in support of accusations of Russian interference in the U.S. elections, only the recognition of the absence of any collusion,” Peskov told reporters in Moscow.
