Russian President Vladimir Putin today dismissed accusations from Washington of involvement in the US presidential election, cyberattacks and the alleged assassination attempt on jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

Putin has denied that he ordered Navalny's assassination, adding that he was not treated any worse than any other prisoner.

Asked if Putin would commit to leaving Navalny prison alive, the Russian president did not make such a promise, saying he was "not interested" in what people thought of his rejection.

Navalny returned to Russia in January, five months after being poisoned in an incident he linked to Putin. He has been in prison since January and last week, a Russian court ruled that his organizations were "extremist" and that those associated with them could not run for public office in the upcoming parliamentary elections.

Biden has "every intention" to mention the closure of Navalny and other dissidents during a meeting with Putin, and the treatment of Navalny in prison has caused concern around the world.

When Putin was told that the crackdown on Navalny and his counterparts around the world seemed to prevent dissent in Russia, he replied that he saw it as "completely different".

Ahead of a meeting with Biden in Geneva, the Russian leader told NBC News that he was surprised that Russia had not been blamed and that he was behind the "African-American lives matter" movement.

Allegations of hacker attacks

When it comes to US allegations of hacking, the Russian leader said the allegations were a "farce".

"We are accused of various things. Interference in US elections, cyberattacks and more. "And they never once provided any evidence of that, only baseless allegations." Putin added, according to the New York Post.
