The Kremlin has denied the accusations that President Vladimir Putin was involved...

It was one of the most detailed remarks of Putin since the US elections, as he is one of the few leaders who haven’t accepted Biden as the new US head of state.

When asked if the new change could damage US-Russia relations, the Russian President replied,

“There’s nothing to damage, they’re already ruined.”
