DISINFO: Russia did not interfere in the 2020 US presidential elections

SUMMARY

The statements of the US government about alleged Russian interference in the 2020 US presidential elections are a bunch of unfounded accusations.

RESPONSE

Recurring disinformation spread by pro-Kremlin media outlets. The narrative is designed to suggest that the Kremlin does not meddle in electoral processes in Europe and the US.

According to a recent report of the US intelligence community, Russia intervened in the US presidential vote in November 2020 and tried to help former US president Donald Trump: Russian President Vladimir Putin authorised "influence operations aimed at denigrating President Biden's candidacy and the Democratic Party, supporting Trump, undermining public confidence in the electoral process and exacerbating socio-political divisions in the U.S," reads the report by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence of the United States.
