MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 20th October, 2018) The Russian embassy in the United States called US election interference charges brought against Russian citizen Elena Khusyaynova unfounded.
On Friday, the US Justice Department said Washington charged Khusyaynova, for conspiracy to meddle in US elections including the 2018 midterms.
"Despite the readiness to constructively cooperate on the issues related to cybersecurity, repeatedly voiced by our country, some politicians and bureaucrats in Washington prefer using unfounded accusations without presenting any proof," the embassy said in a statement.
The diplomatic mission suggested that the US sanctions mechanism required new grounds for functioning.
"It was possible to expect that the upcoming midterm elections would also become a convenient excuse for new attacks against Russia and attributing the continuation of meddling to us," the embassy pointed out.
