The Justice Department has announced charges against six Russian military intelligence officers for hacking the 2017 French presidential election, Ukraine’s electricity grid, the opening ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics, as well as investigators looking into the poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Britain. The Russian Embassy in Washington dismissed the charges, claiming they were aimed at fueling an anti-Russia witch hunt. None of the charged men are in U.S. custody.
