The Press Secretary for the Russian President, Dmitry Peskov, said that Washington's threats to carry out cyber attacks on the Russian Federation are unprecedented. This was said in response to U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden’s remarks about responding to cyber-attacks on the Democratic Party, which allegedly Moscow is responsible for, at "the right time."

"We will take precautions. The unpredictability and aggressiveness of the United States is growing; such threats against Moscow and towards the leadership of our country are unprecedented, as the threat was vocalized by the U.S. Vice President himself. And, of course, in response to such an aggressive and unpredictable line, we have to take measures to protect our interests, somehow to hedge our risks," Peskov said.

Earlier, Putin's aide, Yuri Ushakov, noted that the Kremlin will not leave the information about the impending American cyber operation against Moscow, that was reported by NBC news, unanswered.

"It is already on the verge of rudeness," he added.

U.S. President Barack Obama's administration formally accused Russia of carrying out a large-scale campaign of intervention into the U.S. Presidential elections, including hacking the computers of the Democratic National Committee and other politicians. Peskov called these accusations "nonsense."
