OREANDA-NEWS. Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov explained by the election process statements by representatives of the US Democratic Party that the actions of US President Donald Trump were beneficial to Russian leader Vladimir Putin, a Russian media correspondent reports. “We prefer not to interfere. You know that every time on the eve of the electoral process, Americans are very susceptible to aggravation of Russophobic sentiments. This time, too, has not passed their fate”, said Peskov. According to him, Russia didn't interfere in the internal affairs of the United States and is not going to do so.

Public hearings as part of the investigation into the Trump impeachment case began in Congress last week. The procedure began due to a telephone conversation in which the US president and his Ukrainian counterpart Vladimir Zelensky discussed, among other things, the case against Hunter Biden, the son of former US vice president Joe Biden, who plans to compete with Trump for the presidency in the 2020 elections.

The leaders of the two countries talked against the background of how Ukraine expected to receive military assistance from the United States in the amount of about $ 400 million.
