Why It Matters
The comments reflect Russia's long-standing position that European security arrangements are incomplete or illegitimate without Russian inclusion.
A European security architecture is impossible without taking Russia's interests and participation into account, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Vesti journalist Pavel Zarubin.
"No European security architecture is conceivable without taking Russia's interests into account and without Russia's participation in it," the Kremlin spokesman noted.
"One can only hope that this constellation of politicians will eventually give way to more pragmatically-minded ones. But for now, of course, the picture is utterly depressing," he added.
