West-Russian Relations Likely to Remain Antagonistic Next Year

Jamie Dettmer

   In his four-hour, stage-managed year-end news conference Thursday,
   Russian President Vladimir Putin went out of his way to back U.S.
   President Donald Trump in the impeachment saga unfolding in Washington.

   Lambasting American Democrats for what he termed "made-up reasons" to
   impeach Trump, a Republican, the Russian leader accused them of nursing
   a grudge over losing the 2016 presidential elections.

   The impeachment is "just the continuation of the domestic political
   strife," Putin said. "Your members of Congress should know better."
