The Kremlin on Sunday accused the US embassy of interfering in Russia's domestic affairs after the mission distributed a "demonstration alert" to US citizens in Russia recommending they avoid protests.

"Of course, these publications are inappropriate," President Vladimir Putin's spokeswoman Dmitry Peskov told a state TV channel in comments carried by Russian news agencies. "And of course indirectly, they are absolutely an interference in our domestic affairs."
