Peskov: US parties are exploiting Putin and Russia during the election race

MOSCOW: For Democrats and Republicans, these are significant factors in the political struggle. The press secretary of the Russian president shared this opinion at a briefing.

"Each time the exploitation of both Russia and Vladimir Putin in the domestic political struggle within America itself causes new and new harm, irreparable harm to bilateral relations. This happens in every political cycle," Dmitry Peskov noted.

Both the Republicans and the Democrats are exploiting the factors of Russia and Russian leader Vladimir Putin in their political struggle, but Moscow is quite accustomed to this and expects that the mutual accusations will multiply as the US presidential election draws near, Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov has told the media.

"Of course, there will be many such allegations as the US election approaches, because Russia and the head of the Russian state personally, in fact, are essential factors that both the Republicans and the Democrats exploit in their political struggle, especially in the election campaign. We are accustomed to this. It’s an inevitable reality that we face, to our regret, in the United States," Peskov pointed out, while commenting on a US National Intelligence report claiming that Russia, China and Iran continued attempts to interfere in US electoral processes.

The US presidential election will be held on November 5, 2024. Vice President Kamala Harris has been nominated by the Democrats. Billionaire Donald Trump has been nominated by the Republican Party.
