The Kremlin rejects claims that Russia interfered in U.S. elections, responding to statements by President Donald Trump that newly declassified U.S. intelligence identifies Russia as one of the countries that could compromise America’s voting system. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov says the allegations are unsubstantiated and that Russia has never interfered in the internal affairs of other countries, while expecting the same principle to apply to Russia. In comments reported by multiple outlets, Peskov categorically denies accusations of influencing U.S. electoral processes. One outlet also notes that U.S. investigations—ranging from congressional inquiries to reviews by federal authorities—have previously found no evidence of Russian interference. A separate denial is reported from China, which rejects similar assertions involving threats to America’s voting system. The dispute centers on differing interpretations of intelligence information and prior investigation findings, with the Kremlin maintaining that it has not taken actions to affect U.S. elections and that the latest allegations lack supporting evidence.
