MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia has dismissed the possibility of nuclear talks with the United States citing Washington's stance on NATO expansion, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday.
"We see no point in dialogue with Washington without respect for Russia's fundamental interests. First of all, this is the problem of NATO's expansion into the post-soviet space, which poses threats to common security," Zakharova said.
