[Regnum] Russia has never interfered in US electoral processes and does not intend to do so now. This was stated on June 28 at a briefing by the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov in response to a request to comment on the past election debates between US President Joe Biden and his political opponent Donald Trump.

The Kremlin representative noted that the debate is an internal matter of the United States and therefore Moscow is not going to give any assessment to it.

"We have never interfered in election campaigns. We are not going to do so this time," he said.

Peskov also stressed that the election debates in the US are not an issue on the agenda in Russia.

“We have many issues that are really important for our country, that are relevant for us,” he explained, specifying that Russian President Vladimir Putin is dealing with these issues.

As reported by IA Regnum, the televised debates between Trump and Biden took place on the evening of June 27. During them, the candidates for the post of US President mentioned the Russian leader seven times. At the same time, Trump also mentioned Russia 16 times during the meeting, while Biden did not do so even once.

The former US President also called the conditions for settling the conflict in Ukraine, which were previously put forward by the Russian President, unacceptable. Biden, in turn, made the assertion that after the liberation of Kiev by the Russian Armed Forces, a third world war would allegedly begin.

The Politico newspaper reported on June 27 that a number of representatives of the US Democratic Party began to actively discuss replacing Biden after his failure in the televised debate with Trump. According to the publication, one of the major donors of the Democrats advised the current head of state to end the presidential campaign after this.

#2  They don't have to interfere. They've got Soetoro and the Clintons doing the heavy lifting.
