Between the US and Russia, even in the most difficult times, cooperation took place, and intrigue is only in the level of interaction.

This opinion was expressed to the "Observer" by the ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Konstantin Grishchenko.

"US cooperation with Russia has always been, even in the most difficult times - the Soviet period. This does not mean that the US agrees with what is happening in the Russian Federation. At the moment, the likelihood of cooperation between Washington and Moscow in Syria is. But at this stage new parameters of such interaction from the point of view of the United States are not defined. There are many controversial points: both practical interaction and the formula of political settlement. It is not a fact that in the end the parties will reach a sufficient level of mutual understanding, "Hryshchenko said..

According to him, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's statement that the United States should not set the condition for cooperation with other countries to adopt "American values" should not be viewed in the context of Russia.

"Tillerson said what has always been, in one way or another, the essence of US foreign policy. Sometimes questions of human rights and other humanitarian values ??

became more significant for Washington, but cooperation with many countries on which it is hardly possible to be equal in observance of human rights continued cooperation. For example, with Saudi Arabia, where President Donald Trump will make his first foreign visit. Simply now, the US emphasizes pragmatism, although Tillerson stressed that Washington does not refuse to support values, "the diplomat summed up.

As reported by the "Observer", in Russia they explained why they sent strategic missile carriers to the US coast.
