Russian Chancellor says US and Russia are on the brink of direct conflict

“We have no preference. When the Trump administration was in power, it adopted the largest number of anti-Russian sanctions compared to its predecessors,” he declared.

“No matter who wins the election, we do not believe that the anti-Russian bias of the United States can change,” he added.

Although Trump has shown his appreciation for Russian President Vladimir Putin in the past, the two men are not close and have maintained a deliberately ambiguous relationship.

Last week, the Russian leader indicated that his relationship with Washington will depend on the attitude he adopts after the elections, while at the same time he welcomed Trump’s statements about his desire to put an end to the conflict in Ukraine as “sincere”.

In September, Microsoft stated that Russian agents had intensified their disinformation operations to disrupt Kamala’s campaign using conspiratorial videos, raising concerns about foreign influence operations against the elections.
