The United States has said it does not intend to overthrow the Russian government and bring about regime change there.
The White House clarified yesterday that US President Joe Biden had made such a demand in his speech last Saturday that Russian President Vladimir Putin should be removed from office.
French President Emmanuel Macron has expressed concern that the Russian invasion of Ukraine could be exacerbated by rhetoric. The Russian government has also condemned Mr Biden’s comments.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blingen told reporters yesterday that the United States had no intention of carrying out a coup in Russia. “We do not intend to change the regime of any country, not just Russia. It is in the hands of the citizens of the respective country. It depends on the decision of the Russian people, “said Mr. Blingen.
