'History Does Not Repeat': Berlin Sees No New Cold War Between West, Russia
11:31 GMT 15.02.2016 (Updated: 12:14 GMT 15.02.2016) The German government does not believe that a new Cold War has been going on between the West and Russia, German government spokesman Steffen Seibert said during a briefing Monday.
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.
14 February 2016, 08:55 GMT
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.
Earlier in the day, EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini
said Monday she did not notice any sign of a Сold War between Russia and the West.
Russia has been concerned about NATO building up its military presence in Europe since 2014. The 28-nation bloc has justified pulling troops and hardware to Eastern Europe by Russia’s alleged role in the Ukrainian crisis.
