PARIS — President Donald Trump is finally making moves against foreign election meddling — and Russia says it couldn’t care less.

Trump’s executive order this week authorizing sanctions on foreigners who mess with American elections could herald new headaches for Moscow.

But Russian officialdom shrugged it off as internal U.S. politicking, and analysts say it would barely bruise Russia’s economy and do little to deter interference in November’s midterms — since Russia denies meddling anyway.

A Russian PR agent who runs a provocative U.S. website says the executive order isn’t denting his resolve to expand in the next few months.

“There’s such a huge quantity of sanctions, everyone’s getting them confused,” said Alexander Malkevich, editor of news site USAReally, which is funded by the sponsors of the Russian “troll factory” accused of interference in the 2016 U.S. vote.

“We are not planning to do agitation or propaganda for one candidate (in the midterms) or another,” Malkevich said. However, he said the site will focus on coverage of immigration, and policies that he says coddle immigrants. He displays Trump paraphernalia in his Moscow office, and harbors deep disdain for Democrats.

A series of sanctions on Russian officials, oligarchs and companies by the U.S. has progressively deepened Russian resentment, and Russians see Trump’s new order as further reducing any remaining chances for detente.

“It’s about how we can build any kind of partnership, including on those issues where it is still potentially possible,” said Russian senator Oleg Morozov, who sits on the foreign affairs committee, told news agency RIA Novosti after Trump signed the sanctions order Wednesday.

“This window of opportunity is turning into a little slit.”

Trump’s order came amid bipartisan criticism of his refusal to confront Putin at a joint news conference in Helsinki in July about accusations of Russian hacking, trolling and manipulation during the 2016 presidential campaign.
