Forget Cold War: US, Russia Have One Common Interest in Syria
BRUSSELS (Sputnik) — Her remark came in response to 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.

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.

"I have not seen a climate of cold war in these last days," the high representative of the European Union for foreign affairs and security policy said ahead of an EU foreign ministers’ council in Brussels.

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.
