"Russia Issues Warning to U.S. Ambassador Over Meddling Allegations"

The Russian government summoned U.S. Ambassador Lynne Tracy over alleged support of three NGOs in Russia, demanding the U.S. government to stop any assistance to their activities, which they claim violate Russian law. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned that further support of the NGOs would be considered a violation of Russian law and also cautioned against the spread of disinformation in the context of the upcoming elections. This comes amidst heightened tensions as the widow of opposition politician Alexei Navalny calls for protests during the upcoming presidential elections, and follows Russia's summoning of Germany's ambassador over an alleged leaked conversation about military support for Ukraine.
