Zakharova explained why Paris accuses Moscow of interfering in the country's internal affairs. The French side sent a note to Russia demanding that it refrain from interfering in the country's internal affairs. The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, spoke about this while speaking on the "Right to Know" program. Paris asserts its point of view with the provisions of international agreements that prohibit interference in the affairs of sovereign states. Zakharova stated that Moscow does not take such steps as part of its foreign policy, and also pointed to France's responsibility for supporting the demonstrations in Russia. Bilateral relations have already experienced periods of tension amid accusations of cyber operations. In July, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs invited the Commissioner for the Affairs of Russia, and reported on the alleged attacks ahead of the presidential elections. The Russian diplomat denied these allegations.
