US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that the United States has no relationship with the unauthorized protest activities that took place in Russia recently.
In an interview with NBC News, the US secretary added, “The Russian government is making a big mistake, if it thinks it is about us. It is not like that, and it lies in this government, and in the Russian people’s disappointment with corruption and tyranny.”
And the minister continued, “I think that they should look for the cause inside, not outside.”
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry called on the American authorities to stop interfering in Russian internal affairs, and this came after Blinken tweeted Sunday noon Moscow time, and said that the United States “condemns the Russian authorities’ continued use of harsh methods against peaceful protesters and journalists for the second week in a row. “.
The American minister called for “the release of the detainees.”
