A top official in the Russian government has accused Ukraine of attempting to sabotage Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Ukraine had “planted” stories about Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chairman, in the U.S. media. “Ukraine seriously complicated the work of Trump’s election campaign headquarters by planting information according to which Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign chairman, allegedly accepted money from Ukrainian oligarchs,” said Zakharova in a briefing in Moscow on Nov. 30. “All of you have heard this remarkable story.”
