“In general, Mrs. Nuland is well versed in Russian topics and in all the nuances of the post-Soviet space, and I am convinced that Mrs. Nuland, just like us, and just like other specialists, perfectly understands that the restoration of the Soviet Union is impossible”, - said Peskov.
Earlier, Leonid Slutsky, chairman of the State Duma's international affairs committee, commenting on Nuland's statement, said in an interview with RIA Novosti that the United States "is experiencing the phantom pains of the Cold War" and cannot accept the new reality of a multipolar world.
