MOSCOW: The Kremlin on Wednesday denied Moscow was interfering in the US election campaign after President Barack Obama refused to rule out that Russia could be trying to sway the vote in favour of Donald Trump.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign has blamed Russia for an embarrassing leak of emails from the Democratic National Committee, propelling the Kremlin to the heart of American political debate as tensions between Moscow and Washington linger months before the US presidential elections.
“President Putin has repeatedly said that Russia has never interfered and does **t interfere in internal affairs, especially in the electoral processes of other countries,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
The Kremlin spokesman had earlier dismissed as “absurd” claims that Russia was involved in the hacking of emails that were released by WikiLeaks. “Moscow has carefully avoided any actions, any words that could be interpreted as direct or indirect influence on the electoral process,” Peskov said.
“If you talk about some suspicions regarding our country, then you need at the very least to be precise and concrete,” Peskov added. Russian political analysts say that the Kremlin has always preferred to work with Republican politicians but play down Russia’s actual influence on the vote’s outcome.
“The Kremlin has traditionally considered that a Republican administration is more convenient because it is more pragmatic,” independent analyst Nikolai Petrov told AFP. “It does **t strive to interfere in internal affairs, in the fight for human rights. In this sense it is easier to negotiate with the Republicans.”
