Moscow is ready to cooperate with the American administration on the understanding that an equal and honest cooperation is possible only on the basis of the rejection of attempts at “containment” of Russia, non-interference in internal Affairs and respect of interests each other. This is stated in the statement of the Russian foreign Ministry, posted on the Agency’s website.
“Standing in front of the international community’s common challenges, including the threat of international terrorism, clearly indicate the vital necessity of remedying the present abnormal situation, her return to the path of constructive cooperation,” the document says.
On February 18 the Minister of foreign Affairs of Russia Sergey Lavrov, analyzing the results of the Munich security conference, expressed the view that the cold war is still not over. That is the conclusion he came to, after reviewing the speeches of a number of Western politicians at the Munich security conference.
“It is said that wars begin in the minds of people, there, they, logically, have to end now,” said the Minister. However, with the geopolitical conflict with the Soviet times that has not happened yet, concluded the foreign Minister.
