Russia In Us Election

The leaders of Ukraine and Russia began jockeying for influence with President-elect Donald Trump in the immediate aftermath of the US election, seeking to gain an advantage in his promised push for a resolution to their years-long conflict.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday he was "ready" to hold discussions with Donald Trump, as he congratulated him on his victory in the US presidential election.

In his victory speech, Donald Trump had said that America's borders will be sealed immediately, apart from mentioning the possible reduction of taxes.

The FBI warned of bomb threats at polling stations in "multiple" US states on Election Day, adding that none were credible but many appeared to originate from Russia.

At least two polling sites in the US election battleground state of Georgia were briefly evacuated on Tuesday after fake bomb threats that election officials in the state blamed on Russian agents.

Russian actors were behind a viral video falsely showing mail-in ballots for Donald Trump being destroyed in the swing state of Pennsylvania, US officials said.

Democratic White House hopeful Kamala Harris said in an interview broadcast Monday that if elected president she would not meet with Vladimir Putin for peace talks if Ukraine was not also represented.

Federal prosecutors in the United States have today filed criminal charges in the case. The hackers had allegedly targeted members of former president Donald Trump's campaign.

The truth is that the ongoing allegations and counter-allegations of election interference are just one front in a larger information war between the West and Russia.

A false claim circulating on social media that Kamala Harris left a 13-year-old girl paralysed after an alleged hit-and-run in San Francisco in 2011 is the work of a covert Russian disinformation operation, according to new research by Microsoft.

A 58-year-old man detained in connection with an apparent assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump has said in an interview in 2023 that he planned to recruit potential Afghan soldiers through Pakistan to fight in Ukraine against Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has given a measured response on what he expects from Republican US presidential candidate Donald Trump if the former President wins the election again.

Pro-Kremlin sites masquerading as US "news" outlets have dished out unfounded claims that Democrats plotted to assassinate Donald Trump, a prime example of how phoney AI-powered portals are spewing inflammatory falsehoods in an election year.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has painted a bleak picture of where the world might be in five years, warning of a "very grim forecast" given military tension in West Asia, between Ukraine and Russia, and in Southeast Asia.

Tears of joy flowed in the Oval Office the moment families of prisoners such as Evan Gershkovich, freed by Russia in the biggest such swap since the Cold War, first spoke by phone to their loved ones, a White House video showed on Thursday.
