Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Russia called meddling in the presidential election United States of America 2016 to win Donald Trump. This is stated in the leaked Russian intelligence documents.
The plan was reportedly aimed at achieving Moscow’s goals of disrupting the public and weakening negotiations.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is said to have personally allowed secret agents to protect Donald Trump in the presidential election five years ago, at a closed-door meeting of Russia’s National Security Council.
Quotes The Guardian, according to the document, the meeting took place on January 22, 2016, from the Russian president, the head of intelligence and senior ministers were all present.
They agreed having Trump in the White House would help secure Moscow’s strategic goals. Such as “social chaos” in the US and the weakening of the negotiating position of the US president.
Three Russian spy agencies were ordered to find practical ways to support Trump, according to a document signed by Putin.
At this point, Trump is most prominent in the fight for Republican dominance.
In a report prepared by the Department of Experts, Putin recommended that Moscow use its maximum power to ensure Trump’s victory.
“It is imperative to use all possible force to facilitate his election (Trump) to the office of US president,” the document said.
This will help realize the “political scenario” that Russia likes. Trump’s victory “will inevitably lead to the instability of the US socio-political system,” and Russia is watching that discontent explode into the public sphere, the document predicts.
Western intelligence agencies are said to have been aware of the document and have examined it carefully. Review sheets The Guardian seems to represent a fairly serious and unusual leak from the Kremlin.
In response to this the Kremlin chose to be indifferent. Russian presidential spokesman Dmitri Peskov said the assumption that Russian leaders had met and agreed to support Trump in the 2016 presidential election was “an extraordinary fantasy.”
However, there is evidence to suggest that the January 2016 meeting took place. According to the official photo, Putin sits at a table, under the flag of the Russian Federation. Russian Prime Minister at the time, Dmitry Medvedev, was also present along with the senior foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov.
Also attending were Sergei Shoigu the defense minister in charge of the GRU, Russia’s military intelligence agency; Mikhail Fradkov, then head of Russia’s SVR foreign intelligence service; and Alexander Bortnikov, head of the FSB spy agency Nikolai Patrushev, former director of the FSB, was also present as secretary of the security council.
According to the press release, the discussion only covers the economy and Moldova.
Documents viewed by Guardian demonstrates the security council’s apparent and disguised aim, namely to discuss a secret proposal drawn up by the president’s analytical agency in response to US sanctions against Moscow.
Putin has repeatedly denied accusations of meddling in western democracies. However, the document appears to contradict the president’s claims.
