MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday that the United States planned to stage cyberattacks on Russia’s electronic voting system during its presidential election from March 15-17.
Zakharova also said Washington had tasked U.S. non-governmental organisations with undermining the election by decreasing voter turnout.
Her comments echoed similar accusations by Russia’s foreign intelligence service made this week.
