“A top Kremlin official has accused the United States of deliberately ‘provoking Russia’ with claims that the country carried out cyber-attacks on American institutions.
Andrew Krutskikh, the president’s special representative on cyber-security, said that Washington had not formally approached the Kremlin on the issue, Interfax reported Tuesday.
‘No appeals have been made via official channels,’ Krutskikh said. ‘It suggests that the Americans are making these claims to impress a domestic audience.’ “
