NATO: Putin has broken all the rules, cooperation with Russia is worse than with Soviet Union

   (Censor.NET-19 Jun) --- Russia rejects the possibility of a dialogue with NATO, which is available, and its unpredictability is higher than of the Soviet era.

   This was stated by NATO Deputy Secretary General Alexander Vershbow at a GLOBSEC security conference, Censor.NET reports citing Yevropeiska Pravda.

   Vershbow noted that NATO still has ways and willingness for political dialogue with the Russian Federation but it does not see any desire to talk from the Russian side.

   The Deputy Secretary General also said that the situation in cooperation with Russia is worse than it was during the Soviet era in times of Brezhnev, where there were certain rules of the game, which everyone adhere to. He stated that Russia denies the existence of any such rules, citing as example Russia's denial of its troops being present in Ukraine and its attempts to convince NATO about it.
