Kremlin rejects US accusations that Russia spread hurricane misinformation

The Kremlin on Tuesday rejected US accusations that Russia, China, and Cuba had spread fake news relating to Hurricanes Milton and Helene.

"It seems like a ritual now to blame Russia for everything," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

A US official said on Monday that Russian and Chinese-linked influence actors and the Cuban government had been amplifying misinformation following the two deadly US hurricanes, including false claims that the US was denying disaster relief claims.
