MOSCOW, March 23. /TASS/. All media stories about Russia’s alleged meddling in elections in Germany and France are nothing but far-fetched, crude falsehoods, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told an audience at the Military Academy of Russia’s General Staff on Thursday.

"I find these publications (about alleged Russian meddling in electoral processes in Germany and France) in the EU countries really stunning," he said. "They are utterly far-fetched and, what is still worse, silly and poorly written pieces - articles and reports - about our alleged total influence on electoral processes."
