BERLIN (Sputnik) – The statement comes as Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev’s statement at the Munich Security Conference last Saturday that NATO’s stance toward Russia indicated a slide toward cold war-level relations.
“No, the government does not share this assessment, history doesn’t repeat,” Seibert said.
Medvedev explained his statement in an interview with the Time magazine, where he said that NATO's actions pushed the world closer to a new cold war, but no war was happening yet.
