Washington’s statements about Moscow’s attempts to influence the political situation inside the United States are similar to a way to divert attention from internal problems by looking for an external enemy, said Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov, TASS reports.
“Our position on this issue remains unchanged: Russia does not interfere in the internal affairs of other states. This has been repeatedly stated at the highest level. We categorically reject all fabrications about our country’s alleged attempts to influence the political situation in the United States”, the diplomat said, answering a question from media representatives.
Antonov noted that “some politicians are trying to divert public attention from internal problems by looking for an external” enemy “who can be blamed for all America’s troubles”.
“In these cases, our country is called again. We are credited with driving a wedge into American society, waging a war of disinformation and campaigning against American vaccines, countering the administration’s anti-pandemic efforts, and even masking. All problems are lumped together and Russia is blamed for everything”, he said.
As previously reported by News Front, the United States accused Russia, China and Iran of spreading false information about coronavirus infection and vaccines.
