‘Russian Actors’ Likely Tried To Disrupt 2019 UK Election – Investigation
A handout photograph released by the UK Parliament shows Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson during Prime Minister’s Questions in the House of Commons in London on July 15, 2020. JESSICA TAYLOR / AFP / UK PARLIAMENTBritain on Thursday accused “Russian actors” of seeking to disrupt last year’s general election by circulating leaked trade documents between London and Washington.
But Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab on Thursday said the government had concluded after “extensive analysis” that there was strong suspicion of a Russian link. Ties were strained after Britain pointed the finger at Russia for trying to kill double agent Sergei Skripal in the southwest English city of Salisbury in 2018.A long-awaited report into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 Brexit vote, due to be published by parliament’s intelligence and security committee in the coming days, could also heighten diplomatic tensions.
“Whilst there is no evidence of a broad spectrum Russian campaign against the general election, any attempt to interfere in our democratic processes is completely unacceptable.”
