President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia has long brushed aside accusations of interference or even interest in the outcome of American presidential politics.

The head of Britain’s domestic security service said Russia’s military intelligence service was pursuing “dangerous actions conducted with increasing recklessness.”
Intelligence officials said that foreign adversaries were planning to take advantage of another close U.S. election to undermine trust in the country’s democratic process.
