Russia not only meddled in the Brexit vote, but also in the Scottish Independence referendum<\/p>\n
A report on Russian interference into British politics was finally published Tuesday, more than a year after allegations surfaced that Moscow sought to meddle in Britains 2019 general election and following similar claims about its2016 Brexit vote to leave the European Union and a 2014 failed referendum on Scottish independence.<\/p>\n
The report published today stated that: the Kremlinhas used espionage and diverse forms of subversion, including cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns and state-sponsored assassinations to undermine British democratic processes and divide alliances such as NATO and the EU.<\/p>\n
Russia has been adamant and repeatedly denied any such wrongdoing, and has said that the allegations are completely unfounded.<\/p>\n
Although the report was initially given to Boris Johnson last October , he said it couldnt be released until it had been reviewed for national security issues.<\/p>\n
The opposition Labour Party has accused Johnsons government of failing to publish the report because it would lead to further questions about links between Russia and the pro-Brexit campaign in the 2016 referendum on European Union membership, he said: Whats in the report that Johnson does not want us to see?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
