Moscow regrets attacks on Russia during US debate

A spokesman for the Russian President said Russia regretted attacks on the country made during a final debate between US presidential candidates Donald Trump and Joe Biden.Speaking with journalists, Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov called it a "competition of the most dislike towards Russia."

Peskov added this stance had become usual for every electoral process in the US, saying "we are perfectly aware of this and can only express our regret."US President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden sparred on Thursday in their final presidential debate, largely shelving the rancor that overshadowed their previous face-off in favour of a more substantive exchange over major domestic and foreign challenges facing the nation.

Trump said that nobody has been tougher on Russia through sanctions and pushing for increased military spending by NATO.Biden said Russia seeks to prevent him from being elected "because they know I know them and they know me."Biden also said any country that interfered in American elections would pay a price if he were elected.US officials have reported that Russian hackers have targeted the networks of dozens of state and local governments in the United States in recent days, stealing data from at least two servers.
