U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul rejected as “nonsense” accusations by a senior member of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s party that he’s trying to encourage revolution.
President Barack Obama sent him to Russia to pursue the policy of a “reset” of U.S.-Russian relations, McFaul said in an interview with the Kommersant newspaper. He met with opposition activists earlier this month, within days of taking up his appointment.
