I expect you are talking about the proposal mentioned here. The term interference might, depending on the viewpoint, cover things from hacking to black, grey, and white propaganda. The West is active in white propaganda, compare recent events in Belarus.

  • Russia denies meddling in Western elections, while at least part of the Western meddling in Russia is done by official and semi-official agencies. That's the Western policy of strengthening civic society. So Russia might want to "have their cake and eat it, too" by stopping the overt Western meddling.
  • Russia claims to feel threatened by significant meddling in their politics (instigating a Color Revolution, or for that matter the Nawalny case).
  • While some of these claims may be theatricals to score political points, significant American Russia-watchers believe that they do feel threatened by significant meddling (RAND study).
  • Pacts don't guarantee anything, especially with a President who tears up agreements if he wants to, but it would score political points if Russia could point to yet another pact broken by the West.
