Times: Theresa may was appointed Minister for counter-Subversion
MOSCOW, March 13. /TASS/. Prime Minister Theresa may was appointed Minister for counter-Subversion in order to prevent possible cyber attacks during the next elections in the country.
About it reports on Monday, the newspaper The Times.
According to her, appointed Ben Gummer will “protect the integrity of democratic life in the UK”. British politicians, according to the newspaper, believe that Russia can interfere in elections in the United Kingdom, and also fear of fabricated news that could “destabilize democracy”.
Foreign Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson on 12 March said that the UK has no evidence of Russia’s involvement in hacking attacks against Western countries. “We have no evidence that at the moment Russia has attempted to undermine our democratic process,” he said.
It is expected that Johnson will go in the coming weeks in Moscow at the invitation of foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Talks will focus on Russian-British relations and a number of current international issues, reported the press Secretary of the foreign and Commonwealth office.
