Rudy Giuliani's Ukraine Ally Runs for Office in Russia

A former Ukrainian MP who was accused of trying to harm the 2020 U.S. presidential bid of Joe Biden is seeking political office in Russia, it has been reported.

Andriy Derkach, who fled Ukraine for Russia, has become a candidate in the Astrakhan region for the Russian Federation Council, state news agency Tass reported.

The U.S. government had accused Derkach of promoting unsubstantiated narratives about Biden to American media and officials, including some close to former President Trump. He also met with Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani.

This is a developing story and will be updated shortly.
