The unrest in the US is exclusively an internal affair of this country, Russia does not intervene in these events, TASS reported referring to the president's spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.

“We, of course, are very closely watching what is happening in the US. But everything that happens there is an internal affair of this country,” he noted. “We have never interfered in American affairs and are not going to intervene now.”

Earlier, former Obama administration national security adviser Susan Rice suggested that the Russians could be behind the demonstrations following the death of African American George Floyd.

According to Peskov, this statement may not reflect the official position of the American administration.
