Russia and the United States must engage in diplomacy to resolve the standoff over Ukraine and not build up tensions to score political points, senior Russian security official and former president Dmitry Medvedev said on Thursday.
The remarks were published by RIA news agency the morning after Washington handed over written responses to a set of security demands that Moscow made last year as it built up troops near Ukraine, fuelling fears of a looming invasion.
He said the idea of a conflict between Russia and Washington over Ukraine would be a "catastrophic scenario" and voiced alarm that "hot heads" in the United States and NATO were even imagining such a scenario. "I'm counting on that never happening," he said.
