"It seems to me that amid this absolutely politically technological and obviously anti-Russian pre-election hysteria in the United States, France and now in Germany, this is a clear tantrum of spin doctors… I have a feeling, I hope I am correct, that the average temperature in the hospital is approaching the level pf 36.6 degrees Celsius.

Russian officials have repeatedly denied US claims that it meddled in the election and called such allegations absurd. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in February that Moscow had never interfered in foreign states' internal affairs and was not intending to do so in the future. Simonyan, in particular, repeatedly stressed that not a single example of "fake news" spreading by the Russian media was ever provided by Macron's team.
