NATO: Russia is not partner for alliance anymore

NATO does not perceive of Russia as its partner any longer, top NATO official Phillip Breedlove said.

"The forces in Europe over the last 20 years have been sized for a situation where we were looking at Russia as a partner. We have reduced the number of our troops by more than 75% since the period of the Cold War," RIA Novosti cited him as saying.

"What we see now is that Russia has demonstrated it is not a partner," Breedlove said.
