Russian President Vladimir Putin may use the Biden administration’s support for Ukraine as a pretext to order a new campaign to interfere in American politics, U.S. intelligence officials have assessed.
Intelligence agencies have so far not found any evidence that Putin has authorized measures like the ones Russia is believed to have undertaken in the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections in support of former President Donald Trump, according to several people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive findings.
But given Putin’s antipathy toward the West and his repeated denunciations of Ukraine, officials believe he may see the U.S. backing of Ukraine’s resistance as a direct affront to him, giving him further incentive to target another U.S. election, the people said.

The “tell” is that the Ukes used the exact same 40-year-old Scarab U cluster bomb rocket in downtown Donetsk a few weeks ago, killing only civilians.
The Russians have not had the old Scarabs in their battlefield inventory for many years. But the Ukes do.
He posted the images and data. He was a warfighter for many years, from Desert Storm onward, and saw the aftermath of cluster munitions with his own eyes. But I’m sure your personal hands-on expertise is much greater.
I’ve been around a lot of war fighters. None of them act like this drunken idiot. This guy was some loser in a motor pool.
The model of the Buc missile used was in possession of Ukraine and launched from within Ukrainian lines.
Russian Military deployed much newer models with completely different warheads, and sold off all the early models to Soviet client states (including Ukraine), decades before the shoot down.
People are going to be shocked when Russia wins this war and we learn that 99% of what was reported was complete and total bullsh*t.
Agree.
“We’re putting the crAP back together...”
Thanks, noted.
America wants democrats to go to hell. Midterms are coming and the sick pervert RATs are going to lose. Answer? tell everyone Russia and Putin are responsible for RAT losses.
I wonder what it will take for Ukraine’s vicarious mercenaries here on FR to realize they’ve been played by the same globalist warmongers who have been jerking us around since the day Trump’s campaign took off in 2016.
A total BS article to set the stage to blame Russia for a Republican win in the fall.
Putin already joined the Democrats to defeat Trump. What’s next?
So Putin IS GOING to support Trump!? HA,what a joke,he is getting what he wants in Ukraine under the Democrats! The American Economy is a wreck,Putin is collecting cash from oil,Trump would do away with all of it,what a joke
They are lost never to recover. They are still under their desks and it is 1956.
You'll never see any of the GloboHomoNazi FReeper Warmonger Shills admit it, they'd rather suck Soro's member.
A good point.
Again, according to our intelligence analysts, the American political system lies prostrate and helpless before the unstoppable machinations of the mighty Putin, (who can’t even defeat tiny Ukraine). Should we just go ahead and surrender?
Mainstream media source. Zero cred.
“Special counsel Robert Mueller’s nearly two-year investigation found no conclusive evidence that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia, but Mueller declined to pass judgment on whether Trump obstructed justice.
Trump continues to falsely insist that the election he lost to Biden was stolen, with Republicans in many states following his lead and opposing election security measures.” All you need to know about AP, America’s Pravda.
