"Almost every day we are called one of the most terrible threats either to NATO as a whole, or to Europe, or to the US," he said at the Munich Security Conference (MSC).
&ldquo;We have slid back to a new Cold War,&rdquo; he said, adding: &ldquo;Sometimes I wonder whether it is 2016 we are living in or 1962.&rdquo;
Different positions in Syrian conflicts and Ukraine undermined the relations between Russia and the West. Both sides imposed sanctions against each other.
Medvedev criticised that policies including expansion of NATO towards eastern Europe were &ldquo;unfriendly&rdquo; towards Russia. Facing various challenges including terrorism and regional conflicts, cooperation instead of confrontation was necessary, he said.
