Putin calls on US for guarantees on election ‘non-interference’
MOSCOW, Sept 25, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday called for closer ties with the US in information and communication technologies and mutual non-interference in elections.
In a Kremlin statement, Putin called for the countries to “exchange guarantees of non-interference in each others’ domestic affairs including elections, including with the use of information and communication technologies” and for a “reset” in ties in the sector.
He also called for a global pact agreeing not to use such methods to deal “the first blow” in conflicts.
