The Kremlin denied on Tuesday that it was behind media and internet attacks on the campaign of French presidential front-runner Emmanuel Macron though his camp renewed the charges against Russian media and a hackers¡¯ group operating in Ukraine.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, replying to a question on a daily conference call, said charges made by Macron¡¯s party chief, Richard Ferrand, were absurd.

¡°We didn¡¯t have, and do not have, any intention of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, or in their electoral processes in particular,¡± Peskov told reporters.
