USA: Russia spent $ 300 million to influence politicians

The ministry relies on an assessment report released by the US intelligence services. It’s just “the tip of the iceberg,” said a senior official of US President Joe Biden.

Four different continents

The review does not identify specific countries that have been targeted by Russian interference. However, it would affect countries from four different continents.

The countries concerned are currently kept confidential by the United States.


Democratic Party Albania

French news agency AFP reports citing an anonymous source that Russia, among other things, spent $ 500,000 to support the Albanian center-right democratic party during the 2017 election.

Political parties and candidates from, among others, Bosnia, Montenegro and Madagascar would also be financially supported


Furthermore, according to the source, Brussels would have been used as a hub from which far-right candidates were supported and fictitious companies would have been used to finance European parties and gain influence elsewhere.

Before

The United States accused Russia of meddling in the US presidential election. Russia has denied the allegations, accusing the United States of meddling in the 2021 Russian parliamentary elections.
