Kremlin Criticizes U.S. Ban on Kaspersky Software

The Kremlin responded to the U.S. decision to ban Kaspersky's software, labeling it as a typical move to harm a competing company. Kaspersky Lab, a competitive player in international markets, faces the U.S. ban due to potential security risks.

The Kremlin said on Friday that a U.S. decision to ban Kaspersky's software was a typical move by Washington to damage a company that competes with American ones.

Kaspersky Lab is a company that is "very competitive" in international markets, Peskov said, responding to the U.S. move which was based on an assessment that Kaspersky's software could cause security risks.
