US leaves open possibility of Russia interfering in German and French elections

The US Senate said that Russia appears to be trying to influence the outcome of elections in France and Germany.

The US has warned of possible Russian attempts to interfere in elections in France and Germany.

This is the statement of Democratic Party representative and member of the US Senate Intelligence Committee Mark Warner in a live program on NBC television channel.

The senator recounted how "Russia interfered" in the US election using "hacking attacks and internet-trolls (people who post controversial messages in online communities)".

“We know that Russia interfered then, and they will try to do the same in France and Germany,” Warner stressed.

Earlier, the head of the German Federal Intelligence Service (BND) Bruno Kahl did not rule out that Moscow would not interfere in election campaigns across the country and accused Russia of hacking the servers of the German Bundestag (Parliament).

Meanwhile, for their part, Russian authorities have repeatedly denied US intelligence's accusations of interfering in the affairs of other countries.
