WASHINGTON, February 17. /TASS/. A reaction on behalf of the United States following the death of Russian blogger Alexey Navalny is another attempt of the American authorities to interfere in Russia’s domestic policy, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said.
"The death of a person is always a tragedy," the Russian ambassador stated. "In this situation, it is extremely important to figure out all the details of the occurrence."
"However, local [US] politicians do not want to wait and have already blamed the Russian authorities," Antonov continued. "Here arises a quite natural question: who is the judge? There is another attempt to interfere in the internal policy of the Russian Federation. And death is just an excuse."
"Such a policy is unacceptable. It would be better for local leaders to focus on the problems of their country that require urgent measures," Antonov noted
