Almost every claim made can be traced back to the IRA, or an essay by Putin from 2021 https://orca.cf.ac.uk/122489/1/Political%20Quarterly%20IRA%20Dawson%20%26%20Innes.pdf https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/16/russians-indicted-in-special-counsel-robert-muellers-probe.html http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/66181
