Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called on Sunday for a new reset relations with the United States, saying that Russia does not intend to go into self-imposed isolation.

“The main problem is that we are absolutely interested in normalization of these relations, but we do not destroy them. And now requires that the Americans might call” reset “, a term coined during the administration of President Barack Obama after a serious rollback of our relations in recent years in power, George W. Bush “- Lavrov said in an interview with Russian television.

In this case, according to the Minister, it is time for Russia to update its arsenal of weapons, including nuclear. Lavrov, however, insists that Russia does not intend to start a new arms race.

“We just came over a period of modernization of our strategic and in general of the armed forces,” – said Sergey Lavrov.

Tensions

Moscow’s relations with Washington and Brussels have soured after the Russian annexation of the Crimea in March, and even more complicated because of the support of Moscow separatists in eastern Ukraine.

“Of course, no insulation we do not feel, but having said this, I emphasize particularly – we do not want to go to extremes and abandon European and American vectors of our foreign economic cooperation and international cooperation as a whole”, – said he told the “Fifth channel”.

“War sanctions”

Russia announced retaliatory sanctions, but Sergei Lavrov says that Russia does not want to get involved in the “exchange of blows” with the United States and Europe.

“We are not interested in the fact that the current period is infinitely delayed. We have no desire to to continue the war of sanctions, an exchange of blows, “- he said.

However, Lavrov lashed out at the United States and NATO, which, according to him, not get rid of the psychology of the Cold War. He accused Washington of bombing rebel positions “Islamic state” without the authorization of the Security Council and the reluctance to promote the early achievement of peace in the Ukraine.

“There were people in Washington who have encouraged the position occupied, unlike Poroshenko Yatsenyuk that whenever planned some glimmer of hope, makes arrogantnye statements: that NATO should join, you can not believe Russian, do not lift sanctions, let’s take a more sanctions, “- said the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry in an interview “Russia” and the RT.

President Barack Obama has repeatedly said that the fate of the American and international sanctions against Russia will depend entirely on its policy in Ukraine.
