Russian ambassador rejects virus vaccine hacking claims
Source: ABC News
LONDON -- Russia’s ambassador to Britain has rejected allegations that his country’s intelligence services sought to steal information about a coronavirus vaccine.
Andrei Kelin said in a BBC interview broadcast Sunday that there was “no sense” in the allegations made last week by the United States, Britain and Canada.
“I don’t believe in this story at all, there is no sense in it,” he said when asked about the allegations. “I learned about their (the hackers) existence from British media. In this world, to attribute any kind of computer hackers to any country, it is impossible."
Intelligence agencies in the U.S., Britain and Canada on Thursday accused the hacking group APT29 — also known as Cozy Bear and believed to be part of Russian intelligence — of using malicious software to attack academic and pharmaceutical research institutions involved in COVID-19 vaccine development. It was unclear whether any useful information was stolen.

Well there ya' go.
I'm certain tRump will be issuing a statement shortly calling out the 'fake news' of the Russian hack.
And of course Putin didn't interfere in the 2016 election.
He also didn't sanction performance enhancing drugs for his Olympic athletes.
