[1/4] Vehicles of Russian state-controlled broadcaster Russia Today (RT) are seen near the Red Square in central Moscow, Russia June 15, 2018.
Russia "utilizes both overt and covert mechanisms, including influence networks and proxies managed" by Russian spy services, the report said.
As an example, it continued, Russia's FSB security service secretly worked to intimidate election workers, organize election day protests and "sabotage overseas voting" in an unnamed European country's 2020 election.
Russia also used social media platforms and "proxy websites" to sow doubts about the integrity of elections, it said.
The report recommended that countries work to mitigate Russian election interference through sanctions, information sharing, expulsions of Russian spies and travel bans.
