At the same time, US media reports that the Biden administration is expected to impose sanctions soon, possibly next week, against countries that interfered with last year’s US election campaign. It concerns Russia, China, Iran and other states that wanted to influence the outcome.
For example, a report by the American service shows that the Russian regime of President Putin has tried to damage then-candidate Biden with allegations of corruption. Moscow also wanted to sow discontent in the United States to strengthen the position of then President Trump. This mainly concerned disinformation involving the use of Ukraine’s own secret service, state media, internet trolls and allies.
The report also shows that Iran wanted to prevent a re-election of Trump last year, but also tried to stir up divisions in American society.
