The Kremlin accused the US of planning to interfere in Russia’s presidential election by using American NGOs to lower turnout, and carrying out cyber attacks on the electronic voting system. The claims lack proof, and come after the Kremlin promised not to meddle in the US election. Despite these attempts, US officials reported no issues during Super Tuesday voting.
From the meeting notes, it is clear that the Kremlin has accused the United States of meddling in Russia’s upcoming presidential election. The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, known as SVR, claimed that the administration of J. Biden is setting a task for American NGOs to achieve a decrease in turnout and also planning cyber attacks on the remote electronic voting system.
The SVR did not provide any proof to support these claims, and they mentioned that any foreign interference would be considered an act of aggression. These claims come in the context of Russian elections being seen as a farce, with President Vladimir Putin expected to win the vote.
On the other hand, the Kremlin has denied interfering in US elections and dismissed American claims of Russian meddling. Despite repeated accusations and indictments, it seems that the Kremlin has not had much success in influencing American elections.
During the US primary elections, senior officials confirmed that there were no specific or credible threats to election operations and that no issues out of the ordinary were observed.
Overall, the meeting notes highlight the ongoing accusations and denials of election meddling between Russia and the United States, with each side claiming the other is trying to influence their respective elections.
