This report eminates through the French news agency AFP (And not RFE whom he works for ?) seems to indicate after he traveled to the Ukraine and covered the Kiev “demonstration” he was not allowed to return back to Russia specifically Moscow where he has been living.
He’d be better off hiring a food taster while he’s there and getting the hell out. These are very very dangerous people who don’t play around with their political enemeies . Also note the reports source.
Radio Free Europe is funded by the US government no?
My initial take is that it was an opportunity to disrupt Western propaganda for a while in the run up to the Sochi Games. The Russians are always playing a deeper game, so who knows what else is going on.
Something for Lavrov & Kerry to chat about at their next meeting perhaps.
