Russia has no intention of interfering in US internal processes
Russian President's spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted that "when violence affects the election campaign in that country, this is a matter of concern for the whole world."
According to TASS news agency, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a comment to Zvezda TV channel on July 16 that Russia has never interfered and has no intention of interfering in the internal political processes in the United States. But Moscow is still closely following the latest developments there like other countries in the world.
“We have never interfered and will not interfere in the internal political processes in the United States. Another thing is that we, like the rest of the world, closely monitor what is happening there, because this is the world's largest economy and the most powerful military state, spending huge amounts of money, even more than all other countries combined, on the Ministry of Defense,” the Russian presidential spokesman said.
“And of course, when violence affects the election campaign in that country, this is a matter of concern for the whole world, including us,” Mr. Peskov said.
According to TASS, former US President Donald Trump escaped an assassination attempt at an election campaign rally in Pennsylvania on July 13.
A bullet grazed the former US President's ear, but he is currently in stable condition. The shooting killed one of Mr. Trump's supporters.
The attacker, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was shot dead by Secret Service agents. The motive for the attack remains unclear.
