Moscow is convinced that the United States will try to interfere in the Russian presidential elections scheduled for 2018, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov (pictured) stated in an interview to Chinese and Japanese media on Wednesday.
"We’ve got used to US meddling. We’ve learned to live with it. The same applies to the tapping of telephones by US secret services. The one who is unaware of this is an absolutely naive person who lives on a different planet and does not understand what’s what." Ryabkov said, adding that Russia will brace for the US meddling since "there can be no doubts it will happen."
