“The current disagreements of Russia with the United States and Europe arose as a result of the fact that for a long time the security interests of Russia were ignored.” This was stated by the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharov.
According to her, “Westerners step by step rushing the mechanisms of arms control, created by the works of whole generations of negotiators.”
“This is a vivid example of why international tensions increased to an unacceptable level,” said Zakharov in an interview with RT TV channel, adding that the interests of all are responsible for the return to the dialogue on the framework of the indivisible European security and the development of the rules of peaceful coexistence on the basis of the principle of respect for legal interests of all key states.
