According to him, the Kremlin's suspicions of the West could become a barrier to peace talks.
“It was the false promises of Russia's Western politicians regarding the non-expansion of NATO to the East that sowed the first seed of discord.
Their hands are also covered in blood,” said Bandow.
Earlier, the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, during a speech at the Charles of Antwerp Foundation in Madrid, said that NATO could not fulfill some of the promises made to Russia.
As the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova noted, Borrell's words speak of the West's recognition of betrayal and deceit.
