German Chancellor Angela Merkel during a joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin on May 2 in Sochi said that he was not afraid of Russian propaganda and the influence of the Russian Federation on the German elections.

This is written by the European truth.

Thus, Merkel answered the question of whether she is afraid of Russia's interference in the election campaign, as in the US, as well as manipulation of public opinion on the part of the Russian Federation.

"I can not say anything about the US election campaign, but I do not belong to those people who are afraid. If there is gross misinformation, as in the case of the "girl Lisa," or as in Lithuania, where there were accusations against our soldiers, then we will certainly deal with this issue, "said the Chancellor.

"We know that cybercrime is an international challenge, and you can read about it everywhere.

And of course in the military doctrine of Russia hybrid warfare also plays a big role. And I will confidently say that we in Germany will conduct our election campaign ourselves, "Merkel said..

Putin, in response, said that Russia has never interfered in the political processes in other countries.

As reported by the "Observer", Merkel put Putin a tough ultimatum for Ukraine.
