Is Russia campaigning against US President Donald Trump?

Washington, Ta. Wednesday 29 July 2020

Is Russia plotting to influence the US presidential election? The question arose after reports surfaced claiming that Russia was spreading false information about the United States through the Corona virus.

Russia's foreign intelligence service has denied the allegations in a statement issued Friday stating "Similar, baseless allegations concerning Russia's intelligence have been made more than once. However the Donald Trump administration could be blamed for the virus in the eyes of American voters.

According to the report, the Russian agency is saying that the Corona virus is a day of the US military and Russia can help the US in finding a solution. Allegedly in 2016, Russia similarly used social media accounts and other means of the Internet to spread misinformation.

Alert issued by private department

Last week, the U.S. private sector said Russia, China and Iran could conspire to influence the presidential election. However, no further information has been provided in this regard, but it has been said that more information will be released soon. Recently, Facebook has started labeling information coming from Russian news agencies, especially RT Sputnik.

150 articles with misleading information

Some websites published 150 articles with misleading information. One claimed that the corona was produced under a premeditated conspiracy, while the other claimed that the United States was using the epidemic to impose its views on the world. Not only that, when it was said from Beijing that Covid-19 is a biological weapon of America, these websites also ran this news in a major way.
