'Ukraine bridge between Moscow and the West '

moscow - The settlement of the Ukrainian crisis must lead to a reconciliation between Russia and the West. Discussions on Ukraine Kiev must create a bridge between East and West, not an outpost in the struggle between the West and East. This does require a new form of thinking. That said former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger sat in an interview for the Russian television.

At the same time, he gave no indication as to whether the US and Russia are the only countries that can make a final decision on Ukraine.,, France and Germany are the main European countries. Geographically, they are closer to Ukraine than the US ''

Nevertheless, the 92-year-old Kissinger stressed that ongoing dialogue between Moscow and Washington is crucial to preserve global stability.,, There must be a common goal. Otherwise the situation will become increasingly dangerous. I think that the US and Russia are interested in preventing new ungovernable areas on the world map, especially that pose a threat to the global balance. Therefore it is important that Russia and the US have an ongoing dialogue, '' he said.

Kissinger further noted that the world is currently going through a very difficult period in international politics.,, But it is not the most dangerous, '' he added.

Kissinger was last week on a visit to Moscow where he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. They talked about the current problems, said a Kremlin spokesman.
