The US State Department (this was expected) was concerned with Russia’s compliance with its OSCE commitments during the State Duma elections, Maria Zakharova said at a briefing on Tuesday.
"The haste with which our US partners joined in the Russophobic chorus from the European Parliament, or the European Parliament adopted US policy, is quite notable. Everyone knows that the official results of the elections have not been released yet, but this does not prevent anyone who enjoys criticising our country from doing so," Diplomat stressed.
Maria Zakharova recalled that the Duma elections were held in full compliance with the provisions of Russian and international law. despite an unprecedented number of cyberattacks on Russia's Central Election Commission, half of which came from the United States, and blatant interference by US-based Internet platforms in the preparation for and during the elections. The ill-wishers failed to discredit the Russian electoral system.
Per tradition, Washington absolutely does not bother itself with bringing at least some specific piece of evidence to back up its fantasies. they do not recognise not only the objectivity of the election results, but also, in principle, Russian electoral system as such. At the same time, almost concurrently, the United States has declared its interest in a “constructive” dialogue with Russia. "Just a piece of advice to our partners: it’s either idle talk or a constructive dialogue. you need to choose. and if you really want to talk about our elections, the State Department may as well share the results of an analysis of the data passed along by Moscow regarding the interference that we detected from the territory of the United States," Zakharova summarized.
