Countries across Europe are facing the same threat, Burnham says.
Claim marks the first time a UK prime minister has publicly acknowledged Russia's interference in the vote to leave EU.
British PM Andy Burnham said Russia interfered in the 2016 Brexit referendum, warning voters in France and Germany of similar threats, but provided no details of the evidence.
Burnham, who took over as Britain's leader in July and said last month that Britain could consider rejoining the European Union in the future, is the first British prime minister to say openly there was evidence of Russian interference in the referendum a decade ago.
He says voters were not "sufficiently" informed about how foreign actors sought to disrupt UK democracy.
