US Report on Russia's Alleged Election Meddling Causes Misunderstanding

He referred to what he described as common accusations and claims which Peskov stated that are "absolutely incomprehensible to us" and which have nothing to do with Russia, RIA Novosti reported.

"Here I can repeat once again that we do not agree with all these allegations. The Russian government has nothing to do with any interferences [ in the US elections], especially those which were abstractly described [ in the report]|", Peskov pointed out.

The analysis by Oxford University’s Computational Propaganda Project and Graphika, a social media intelligence firm, looked into millions of online posts provided by major technology firms Twitter, Facebook and Google, which detail alleged Russian efforts to help elect President Donald Trump.

Moscow has repeatedly denied allegations of interfering in the 2016 US presidential vote, stressing that they were invented to excuse the election loss of the other presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, as well as to deflect public opinion from actual instances of electoral fraud, corruption and other pressing issues. According to Russia, no evidence of election meddling has been presented by Washington to substantiate the accusations.
