Any reset of the U.S.-Russian relations would be a dangerous step, stressed McCain, known as one of Russia’s most vocal critics.
As for the conversation between the president-elect and Russian President Vladimir Putin, when the Russian leader called for improving ties, the senator sad that such words should be trusted no more than any other statements by a former KGB agent, who had turned his country into a tyranny, killed his political opponents, as well as invaded his neighbors, threatened U.S. allies and tried to disrupt the U.S. elections.
