On October 25, in an interview on Rossiya 1, Russian President Vladimir Putin declined to comment on U.S. President Donald Trump's claims that Russia is believed to have funded his rival in the race for U.S. President, Joe Biden.
"I have no comment," Mr. Putin said.
In the final debate before the November 3 vote, President Trump announced, Mr Biden had received $3.5 million from Russia through Mr Putin.
Mr Biden immediately dismissed the information and insisted he did not take "a penny" from foreign sources and also expressed confidence that Russia did not want him to win.
President Trump also said during the debate that Mr. Biden's son, Hunter, allegedly maintained business ties with Elena Baturina, the wife of former Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov.
"It is known that Elena Baturina is in business or may still be in business. Perhaps, she has had many business relationships with foreign partners. Are there any Americans on this list? I don't know anything about this," Mr Putin said when asked to comment on the allegations.
Earlier, on October 23, commenting on the US Presidential election debate, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that candidates in this race are "competing to see who doesn't like Russia better?". The Kremlin has also repeatedly denied any attempts to interfere in U.S. domestic matters.
This isn't the first time U.S. politicians and the media have reported on so-called "Russian aggression," when the FBI and the U.S. Cyber and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) recently claimed that a group of Moscow-funded hackers had infiltrated U.S. Government servers.
U.S. media also said that the scandal surrounding Hunter Biden's leaked emails was also an activity of Russian intelligence, however, the FBI insisted the incident had nothing to do with Moscow.
For many years, the Kremlin has repeatedly denied allegations in the U.S. media of meddling in the U.S. election, insisting that they have no evidence and are only part of the internal political struggle in the U.S.
