US President Barack Obama has urged Russia to turn from the past, emphasising the common goals the US shares with its former Cold War rival. He told young graduates in Moscow they were the "last generation" to be born in a "divided world". Mr Obama sought to reassure the country that the US sought a "strong, peaceful and prosperous" Russia. The speech comes on the second day of Mr Obama's visit to Moscow and followed his first meeting with Vladimir Putin. During the breakfast talks he told the former president turned prime minister that he had done "extraordinary work" leading Russia. |
