Leonid Slutskiy said that the new US calls to impose sanctions against Russia are totally absurd

Earlier, the US senators appealed to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to impose new sanctions against the Russian Federation. The reason for the appeal is the information of the US intelligence that Russia allegedly "continues to hold large-scale and systematic meddling campaign" in the US election

“New calls of the Democrats to impose sanctions against Russia for interfering in the US elections are absurd and bunch of nonsense. All the allegations are again unsubstantiated and unsupported by evidence,” said the Chairman of the Committee on International Affairs. 

He stressed that representatives of the US Democratic Party and ”mainstream media“ are trying to attribute the so-called ”Russian support“ to both the current leader of state and Democrats front-runner Bernie Sandres, despite reports of the absence of any information from the US intelligence about the impending meddling.

The parliamentarian is convinced that the democrats are once again trying to put US President Donald Trump in an uncomfortable position or ”to change public opinion away from the course of not the best election campaign in the Democratic Party.“
