MOSCOW, Jan 18 (Reuters) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday that Western countries' expressions of outrage over the detention of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny were designed to distract their own citizens from domestic problems.
Police detained Navalny on his arrival in Moscow on Sunday after he flew home from Germany for the first time since he was poisoned last summer. (Reporting by Tom Balmforth and Gabrielle Tétrault-Farber Editing by Gareth Jones)
