The US Ambassador to Russia John F. Tefft in his speech to the American Chamber of Commerce declared that the US does not seek to "change" the government of Russia, reports Риа Новости.

As the official website of the US Embassy in Moscow informs, the Ambassador has said that in Washington there is a consensus that they should respond to Russia's "illegal and destabilizing actions in Ukraine", despite the fact that it may harm their own interests.

"We are not seeking to change Russia’s government but to change its policies.  We are working hard with our allies to allow Russia the opportunity to change its policies, to respect the sovereignty of its neighbors, and to once again become a full partner in securing peace and prosperity – not only in Europe but around the world.  Unfortunately, there is continued bipartisan skepticism that the Russian government is ready to resume such a course."- is written on the official website of the Embassy.
