The Russian Government has poked fun at claims it interfered with the US election days after Vladimir Putin said the accusation was a 'lie'.

This morning, the Russian Foreign Ministry posted an audio recording of an apparent automated telephone service to aid Russian embassies.

In the recording, which was published on its Facebook page, it says: 'To arrange a call from a Russian diplomat to your political opponent, press one.

The Russian Government has poked fun at claims it interfered with the US election by publishing a fake automated telephone service to aid Russian embassies

Vladimir Putin vehemently denied Russia interfered in the US elections while speaking at a panel on Thursday

'To use the services of Russian hackers, press two' and 'To request election interference, press three.'

A spokesperson for the Ministry confirmed the post was an official joke as part of April Fool's Day.

On Thursday, the Russian President fiercely denied interfering in the US elections by using a similar phrase to former President George H.W. Bush's 'Read my lips' quote.

While speaking at the International Arctic Forum on a panel moderated by CNBC, he said: 'Watch my lips, no. All those things are fictional, illusory and provocations, lies.

'All these are used for domestic American political agendas. The anti-Russian card is played by different political forces inside the United States to trade on that and consolidate their positions inside.

Donald Trump was elected the 45th President of the United States last year after winning 306 electoral votes, defeating Democratic candidate Hilary Clinton

U.S. intelligence community officially concluded there was an interference in October last year and is launching a probe next week

'We said on numerous occasions and I reiterate that we are confident … And know for sure that opinion polls in the Unites States show that very many people are … friendly towards the Russian Federation and I'd like to tell these people that we perceive and regard the United States as a great power with which we want to establish good partnership relations.'

However, despite Mr Putin's insistence, U.S. intelligence community stated they believe there was an interference in October last year.

A probe into Donald Trump's alleged links with Russian associates will be launched on Wednesday.
