UK PM Andy Burnham says it is ‘clear’ Russia interfered in 2016 Brexit vote

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham stated it is ‘clear’ that Russia interfered in the 2016 Brexit referendum and warned French and German voters of the same threat. He mentioned having received a definitive answer confirming Russian interference but did not provide evidence. Burnham discussed potential links between Russia and Germany's far-right party with Chancellor Friedrich Merz and condemned Russia’s attempts to interfere in UK elections, including the 2019 general election. A 2020 parliamentary report confirmed Russian meddling in the 2014 Scottish independence referendum.
