“The most interesting thing is that we have provided America with concrete facts. There are not just quotes and statements, there are data, dates, IP addresses and much more. And they do not get away with saying that they do not accept or agree with these accusations. This is factology, this is factual”, –  Zakharova said.

The diplomat also stressed that Russia’s patience with U.S. companies in the context of election meddling is not unlimited. Therefore, Moscow demands that Washington stop interference by Internet companies in the Russian elections.
