MOSCOW, February 27. /TASS/.Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists on Wednesday that Russian structures including the Russian presidential website have regularly experienced cyber attacks from the US and Europe, when commenting on a report by The Washington Post claiming that the US military had carried out a cyber attack against Russia’s Internet Research Agency in the run-up to the 2018 midterm elections.

Peskov stated that he did not know whether the data on this cyber attack was trustworthy. "But in general, a huge number of cyber attacks are constantly carried out from US territory against various Russian organizations, legal entities and individuals. This is the reality with which we live," he noted.

"I wouldn’t say who can be behind these attacks, but we confirm that a huge number of these attacks are organized on a continuous basis," Peskov added. "When they talk about various Russian hackers, we say that we have looked into those who are behind the attack, for example on the president’s website, and they are from Europe, North America and so on. There is a huge number of perpetual attacks," he said.
