Russian Foreign Ministry expects new accusations ahead of U.S. 2020 election

The Russian Foreign Ministry is expecting new allegations directed towards Russia regarding interference in U.S. elections ahead of the 2020 presidential race, the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said.

He recalled that "baseless and unsubstantiated accusations of so-called Russian interference" in the U.S. elections in 2016 created an "atmosphere of deep suspicion and a fundamental distrust" of Russia’s policy. 

"It’s very difficult for the U.S. to get out of this state into which they plunged themselves, especially since that the so-called 'Russian card' turned out to be a convenient means of settling political accounts and is still used in the domestic political struggle," Sputnik cited Ryabkov as saying.

The Foreign Ministry underlined that Moscow is ready to provide an exhaustive response to all the allegations of Russian vote meddling.
