NATO Pushing Russia Toward New Cold War: Medvedev

Alwaght | News & Analysis Website

Alwaght- Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has blamed the US-led NATO military alliance of igniting a new cold war.
Speaking on Saturday at a panel discussion during the Munich Security Conference, Medvedev described NATO's policy as "unfriendly and not transparent."
"Almost every day we are referred to as the most terrible threat to NATO as a whole or to Europe, America and other countries specifically," Medvedev said. "Although actual threats that exist in our small world - and I hope, you understand that - are absolutely different."
Medvedev said Russian President Vladimir Putin told the same Munich conference in 2007 that the West's building of a missile defense system risked restarting the Cold War, and now "the picture is grimmer; the developments since 2007 have been worse than anticipated".
Medvedev criticized the expansion of NATO and EU influence deep into formerly Soviet-ruled Eastern Europe since the end of the Cold War.
Terrorists are gaining influence and benefiting from Russian-Western discord, Medvedev told the gathering. "Terrorism is a challenge to the whole of civilization: we must not divide terrorists into friends, enemies, extremists or 'moderates,’" he said.
"I think ISIS has to be grateful to my colleagues, some Western leaders who disabled such cooperation [between intelligence services]," Medvedev said. The PM cited cases such as the bombing of the Russian airliner over Sinai, the terror attacks in Paris, London Pakistan, Iraq and many other countries, as well as public beheadings and brutal acts of violence, as clear evidence that international terrorism respects no borders.
Addressing Russia’s anti-IS deployment, Medvedev said the air operation is not targeting civilians. "No one has yet presented any evidence of our air strikes hitting the civilian population."
The Russian PM called on his Western counterparts "not to threaten a ground operation" in Syria, stressing that Moscow is doing its utmost to pave the way for a lasting peace in the war-torn country.
"It is important to save a united Syrian state, preventing it from falling apart into religion-based [fragments]. The world can't afford another Libya, Yemen or Afghanistan. The outcomes of such a scenario would be disastrous for the entire Middle East," Medvedev said.
Only viable cooperation between Russia and the US can resolve the situation in Syria, Medvedev said. "I want to emphasize that regular cooperation between Russia and the United States will be crucial. And I mean regular – every day."
