The ambassador of Russia to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak believes that current relations between Russia and America are some of the most difficult since the cold war. However, the tensions appeared even before the crisis in Ukraine erupted, he told Russia-24.
"Think of the situation on the eve of the Olympics, about the rumors that were spread about Russia, think of the situation surrounding Mr. Snowden, which ended with Obama not going to a bilateral meeting on the eve of the G20 summit," Kislyak said.
