The Americans intend to play up the theme of “hand of the Kremlin” to put pressure on Russia, said Zakharov.

The speaker of Russian foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova believes that the initiative of us senators to expand sanctions against Russia are a consequence of the heavy presidential campaign in the United States. She stated this at the economic forum in Moscow.

“I think our legislators will stand up and publicly give their assessment of this step of their overseas counterparts. Certainly, and we will respond publicly, but again, it is clear what is happening. Takes place post-electoral wave, she goes, she cannot lie down, cannot the political landscape to calm down in the United States of America. I think the reason is that the campaign was very violent, she was even according to us estimates are very dirty and the most expensive, and the money in it was pumped so much, and the stakes were so high that they just now need to work out. And how much it will last is hard to say, but that will settle down soon, here, in my opinion, it is obvious,” — said Zakharov.

In her opinion, the Americans intend to play up the theme of “hand of the Kremlin” to put pressure on Russia.
