US security: no interference from Russia in the 2016 elections

After conducting numerous investigations, the US Department of Homeland Security officially announced that Russia was not involved in the US presidential elections that occurred in 2016.

There was no interference in the 2016 US presidential election, the deputy secretary of the Department of Homeland Security's Department of Homeland Security's Department of Homeland Security Christopher Krebs said Wednesday during the meeting of the US House of Representatives .
"Most of the activity was simply monitoring. It happens all the time through the networks ...

It is not considered an attack. None of the 21 states analyzed were attacked, "he said.

For this reason, stresses the official, to define such activity as an attack, is an "exaggeration."

In addition, he said that "it was not necessarily the electoral system that was monitored."

Interference that did not exist but cost sanctions for Moscow

Since the end of the 2016 US presidential election, several countries in the West (Europe and the US) have accused Russia of interfering in the electoral process.

Moscow has repeatedly denied any interference, for its part, in the US or any other country's elections.

Despite this, Washington and several EU countries have continued to insist that there are Russian "hackers" who would have interfered in elections in other countries. However, they have failed to provide any proof of their accusations, but to impose restrictive measures of all kinds against Russia.
