Quoting "people familiar with the matter," the Wall Street Journal said Facebook decided not to mention Russia in a report published in April 2017.
Earlier this month, Facebook disclosed that 10 million people saw 'divisive' political ads purchased by Russia. It was also reported that Russia-linked Facebook ads targeted battleground states narrowly won by President Donald Trump with anti-Muslim propaganda and support for candidates other than Hillary Clinton.

"Some at Facebook pushed to not include a mention of Russia in the report because the company’s understanding of Russian activity was too speculative, according to one of the people," writes McMillan and Harris.
