NATO ignores Russian de-escalation initiatives

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[RIA Novosti] NATO 's ignorance of Russia 's de-escalation initiatives creates preconditions for incidents and conflicts, and undermines the foundations of security, the Russian Defense Ministry reports.

A meeting of the Russia- NATO Council was held in Brussels on Wednesday.

"It was indicated that the Russian side has repeatedly offered the alliance to take measures to de-escalate the situation. Russian initiatives were ignored. This creates the preconditions for incidents and conflicts, and undermines the foundations of security," the message said.

Bilateral talks were also held in Geneva on Monday between the delegations of Russia and the United States. Talks in the Russia- OSCE format are scheduled for Thursday in Vienna.

#2  In fairness, 'Russian De-Escalation initiatives' generally translates to, "Give us what we want and maybe we won't do anything. Until next time."

Helluvua deal.
