Russia accuses US envoy of arrogance over missile shield
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused the US ambassador on Wednesday of arrogance over remarks he made on the contentious issue of missile defence, Russia's latest rebuke of an envoy whose three months in Moscow have been clouded by controversy.
Lavrov said US ambassador Michael McFaul had "arrogantly" rejected Russia's concerns about US plans for a European missile shield in a recent interview with state-run RIA news agency, according to RIA and other Russian media. (Reuters)
