Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said on Wednesday that Moscow is not betting on any of the US presidential candidates and is ready to work with any leader elected by the US citizens, according to Sputnik news agency.
"Bets are placed on betting terminals. We do not bet on anyone, since we are exclusively guided by the interests of our national security and take steps that show our extremely responsible approach to ensuring global security and stability," Ryabkov added.
"The series of statements that Russian President Vladimir Putin has made in the past weeks and months is the best evidence," he continued. "It is only up to the US citizens to choose their new president."
It is worth mentioning that, earlier this week, US democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden expressed the belief that Russia was trying to influence the upcoming vote and was, therefore "the biggest threat."
Moscow has repeatedly refuted all allegations regarding its interference in foreign elections.
