Senator Ben Cardin said that he was preparing a “exhaustive” bill that will be Washington’s response to the alleged actions of Moscow during a campaign in the United States, Reuters reports.

Democrat explained that we are talking about cyber attacks in which the United States is suspected of Russia. At the same time, he added that the bill will also provide for response measures for the actions of the Russian Federation in Europe and in Syria.

“Russia is a very serious problem for America. She is not our partner. She is a hooligan, ”the agency quoted the Senator’s words. - She attacks us in an instant [fighter] or [computer] mouse - no matter. All this is an attack. And she requires an answer. It is clear that they were responsible for Kiberataku for our country during the past elections. ”

Cardin did not reveal the details of the document. He also expressed doubts about the fact that the bill would be adopted with the current composition of the Senate, but emphasized that his document would laid down the “basis of further actions”.

In early October, the United States accused the Russian government of involvement in the hacker attacks on the Democratic Party and promised to hold a response to the cyberataka. After that, the NBC found out that the CIA began to develop a cyber attack plan against Russia. US Vice President Joe Biden called this a “signal” to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov then said that Russia is being ensured for cybersecurity.
