US accuses Russia of secretly providing at least $300 million to parties and politicians worldwide in bid to swing elections in more than 24 countries since 2014
Russia has long scoffed at US allegations of meddling, noting that the CIA has a long history of backing coups in nations such as Iran and Chile.
"We think this is just the tip of the iceberg," the official told reporters on condition of anonymity. The source, who was not authorised to speak on the record, said that Russia has also used Brussels as a hub for foundations and other fronts that back far-right candidates and that Russia's embassy in Ecuador was sent "large amounts" of money from 2014 to 2017, apparently with a mission to swing elections.
The Biden administration requested the assessment following Russia's February 24 attack on Ukraine, which prompted a major US effort to isolate Moscow and arm Kiev. Asked if the US government was concerned ahead of November congressional elections, Price said, "Any attempt to meddle in our democratic system will be met with strong and stiff consequences."
