The Kremlin has challenged the authenticity of leaked e-mails purportedly from the inbox of presidential aide Vladislav Surkov that appear to show the Russian government’s coordination with separatists in eastern Ukraine.
In comments relayed by state-run TASS and other Russian news agencies on October 26, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov did not explicitly state that e-mails published by the Ukrainian hacker group CyberHunta on October 25 were not genuine.
