"Not yet considered," RIA Novosti quotes Grushko's answer to a question about the plans of the Russian Foreign Ministry leadership on contacts with Stoltenberg.

According to him, the Russian side does not leave contacts and is ready for them.

He noted that NATO has announced a policy of containing Russia.

Earlier, NATO spokesman Oana Lungescu explained the entry of the US Navy destroyer Porter into the Black Sea by Russia's "military build-up".
