Exclusive: President Putin says he can't guarantee that Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny will come out of jail alive and dismisses allegations that Russian hackers were behind recent cyberattacks. - KeirSimmons
Putin showed flashes of defiance when he was asked whether it was a "coincidence" that several other political rivals had been assassinated in recent years.Putin said the U.S. allegations that Russian hackers or the government itself were behind cyberattacks in the U.S. were"farcical," and he challenged NBC News, and by implication the U.S. government, to produce proof that Russians were involved.
"We have been accused of all kinds of things," Putin said."Election interference, cyberattacks and so on and so forth. And not once, not once, not one time, did they bother to produce any kind of evidence or proof. Just unfounded accusations.
Putin also repeated the call for the U.S. and Russia to join forces to fight cybercrime, saying,"It is our great hope that we will be able to set up this process with our U.S. partners."
