Russia has warned the United States to stop interfering in its internal affairs.
According to the Voice of Russia, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zharov said that the Washington administration was interfering in Russia's internal affairs, to which a full response would now be given in official language.
"If the United States does not stop interfering in its internal affairs, we will not only fight them, but we will respond in the same way," he said.
"It's important for everyone to know how political opponents are treated in the United States," the State Department spokesman said.
He reminded the United States that according to the UN Charter and other international documents, Russia is an independent country and knows how to resolve internal affairs on its own merits.
