In spite of the State Duma's denials earlier today, Yevgeny Prigozhin, a famous Russian businessman and member of Putin's inner circle, confirmed Kremlin meddling in American elections.

CBC reports that Yevgeny Prigozhin admitted on Monday that he had interfered in U.S. elections and would continue to do so in the future. This is the first admission from a figure formally implicated by Washington in Russia's efforts to influence American politics.

According to comments posted by his press office Concord catering firm on Russia's Facebook equivalent VKontakte, Prigozhin said: "We have interfered (in the U.S. elections), we are interfering, and we will continue to interfere. We have mastered it, so we will do it carefully, accurately, surgically, and in our own style.."

The comment of Prigozhin, who has been subjected to US and European sanctions, and has been accused for several years of interfering in US elections, particularly the 2016 presidential elections, came on the eve of the midterm elections, which will take place tomorrow. In addition to electing 30 state governors out of 50, Americans will elect members of the House of Representatives and a third of the Senate.

Earlier today, State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin denied these rumors altogether, saying his country does not interfere in US elections or allow outside interference.

The charges are also being used as a preemptive justification by the Democratic Party for its defeat tomorrow in the Senate and House elections, after the mistakes of Joe Biden's administration.

US papers reported yesterday that fake accounts started a campaign to influence the results of the elections, indicating that a Russian agency that interfered in the 2016 and 2020 elections is now repeating its practices, per the New York Times.

It also stated that those accounts launched a massive smear campaign against US President Joe Biden and other prominent Democrats in a flagrant manner.

Last month, the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency warned of disinformation spreading through "web media, online magazines, messaging apps, scam websites, and emails", promoting false allegations of data breaches or voting results.

The US midterm elections will probably give the Republicans both the senate and the house, as many analysts suggest, giving the Biden administration a heavy headache in passing their bills and its foreign policy, both in Ukraine and the Middle East, as they strive to survive Trump's cancellation of the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal.
