Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko gives a news conference (Reuters)

BRUSSELS: Russian deputy foreign minister Alexander Grushko said he could not recall such a frank and sharp discussion with Nato as Wednesday’s talks in Brussels, and that Moscow felt it could not concede more ground to the US-led alliance in certain areas.
He said Russia told Nato that the situation could not remain as it currently is, that Moscow wanted to find a way out and that Russia did not take Nato’s statements of its peaceful purpose seriously.
He said various Nato positions were unacceptable for Moscow.
