A Russian official speaking on background referred to such allegations as "vague and unclear," rejecting any accusation of meddling in the close U.S. presidential race that has yet to produce a winner.

"I can assure you that Russia has no relation to any election interference, let alone bomb threats," the Russian official told Newsweek. "Unfortunately, when something bad happens, it is often claimed to be of Russian origin, especially during U.S. election campaigns."

"We would like to emphasize that Russia has not and does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, including the United States," the embassy added. "As President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stressed, we respect the will of the American people. All insinuations about 'Russian machinations' are malicious slander, invented for use in the internal political struggles in the United States."

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov on Oct. 10 dismissed reports of North Korean soldiers fighting in Ukraine, telling reporters that it was "another bit of fake news."

Earlier in October, South Korean Defense Minister Kim Yong-Hyun told lawmakers that North Korea was likely planning to send troops to Ukraine to fight alongside Russia.

When asked about a recent report by Ukrainian media that North Korean soldiers were killed and injured near occupied Donetsk, Kim said that it was also likely true.

The group of North Korean soldiers arrived in the Russian-held part of Ukraine to exchange experience with their Russian counterparts, Interfax-Ukraine reported on Oct. 4, citing a military intelligence source. Six were reportedly killed and three injured in a missile attack.

Moscow and Pyongyang have deepened military cooperation as Russia seeks arms and other support in its full-scale war against Ukraine. In recent weeks, claims of a more direct North Korean presence in Ukraine have increased.

The Russian Presidential spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, has denied information alleging that former US President Donald Trump had spoken on the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin seven times after the former left office. "No, it's not like that," Peskov told Russian media when asked if Putin had called Trump. Earlier, the campaign headquarters of US presidential candidate, Donald Trump, criticized the upcoming book "War" by famous journalist, Bob Woodward, saying that none of the episodes described in it is true.  Excerpts from the interview published earlier by CNN included allegations of telephone contacts between Trump and Putin after 2021.

This is not an incursion if the Ukraine soldiers feel that it's safe for Ukrainian media teams to report from inside Russia. How embarrassing for Putin. I hope people pick this up on their VPN as Putin said that they repelled the Ukrainians from the territory. Putin keeps calling it an incursion but evacuees will tell Russians otherwise.

Я вам отвечаю. Идите нахрен, верните все как было! Пожалуйста, не суспендите меня.

The historic prisoner swap between Russia and the West was not linked to peace talks with Ukraine, the Kremlin said on Friday.

Almost two dozen political prisoners held by Russia were released to their families, while Vladimir Putin welcomed back eight Russians freed in exchange, including an FSB hitman who had been held in Germany.

There was speculation that the complex feat of diplomacy could be part of a ceasefire negotiation between Moscow and Kyiv.

But Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, denied any link and said potential talks on Ukraine would be based on “different principles”.

“If we talk about Ukraine and more complex international problems, there are completely different principles,” he said. He added: “The work there is conducted in a completely different mode.”
