Berlin - Russia should change its attitude to the events in Ukraine to restore normal relations with NATO, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen has said.

“I call on Russia to reverse its course and to begin the long process of rebuilding the trust it has broken,” he said at a press conference in Berlin on Wednesday, July 2.

Rasmussen also said that he would not like to see a new “Cold War” in Europe.

“Let me stress: nobody wants to return to the Europe of the Cold War. We cannot have new dividing lines across our continent,” he said.
