MOSCOW, February 19. /TASS/. Russia sees NATO trying to move back into the center of Euro-Atlantic processes and notes that all of the alliance’s member states are rearming, Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko told reporters.
He also noted that it is not worth commenting on the negotiations on Ukraine, as this would be detrimental to the cause. According to the senior diplomat, Russia takes them very seriously.
TASS has compiled Grushko’s key statements.
It is not worth commenting on the negotiations on Ukraine: "We are focused on the negotiation process. And there is nothing to comment on here."
The negotiation process, "on the one hand, is being conducted in a fairly open manner": "On the other hand, it is absolutely clear to everyone - and I hope to journalists as well - that no comments on the substance of the discussion will be made because doing so would harm the cause."
