U.S. sanctions aimed at changing power in Russia - deputy minister


    MOSCOW (Reuters) - A deputy Russian foreign minister accused the United States on Monday of trying to bring down President Vladimir Putin by imposing sanctions on Moscow over the crisis in Ukraine, TASS news agency reported.

    "It is hardly a secret that the goal of the sanctions is to create social and economic conditions to carry out a change of power in Russia," TASS quoted Sergei Ryabkov as telling the lower house of parliament.
