The official noted the “unprecedented level of disinformation from foreign enemies” that accompanied the election process. Russia and other countries tried to promote “narratives aimed at dividing society.
Nevertheless, “the electoral infrastructure has demonstrated its security against such attacks, and the community responsible for conducting the election has done everything to ensure that the voting was safe, fair and free.
The agency assumes that attempts to influence public opinion through disinformation will continue after election day on November 5, until January, when the results are finalized and the inauguration ceremony of the new president is to take place.
