Examples of Kremlin in a Sentence

1. Hillary Clinton:

   The forces at work in the 2016 election in the United States are still with us and not only in my country but around the world, it was a perfect storm: deep currents of anger and resentment flowing through our culture. Our political press that told voters my emails were the most important story. The unprecedented intervention in our election by the FBI director. The information warfare waged from within the Kremlin.

2. Rob Joyce:

   When we see malicious cyber activity, whether it be from the Kremlin or other malicious nation-state actors, we are going to push back.

3. Yevgenia Albats:

   If you are loyal (to the Kremlin) you get ads. If you are not loyal, you don't get ads.

4. Mark Galeotti:

   Russian intelligence agencies going back to the 19th Century have always been more willing than their western counterparts to carry out assassinations abroad, this culture, along with the geopolitical pressure on Russia and the increasing role the FSB has taken in operations abroad, all play a role in the Kremlin increasingly using assassination as a play in its toolbox.

5. Samuel Greene:

   Clearly the Kremlin feels it should and can insert itself into domestic politics in other countries in much the same way it believes the United States and Europe insert themselves into Russian politics, in their view it is fair play. They have seen the West involving itself in politics in Ukraine and other former parts of the Soviet space and feel they should be able to pretty much do the same thing.
