MOSCOW, November 27 (Sputnik) – NATO would like to reestablish normal relations with Russia, which aspires to a partnership, the Director of NATO Information Office in Moscow, Robert Pszczel told Sputnik radio Thursday.
"I'm not simply sure, I know that all NATO countries, from a political point of view, of course, would like to return to the path of normal, full-fledged and partnership-oriented relations with Russia," Pszczel said.
The NATO representative noted, however, that currently there is no practical cooperation with Russia and expressed hope that Moscow would comply with international law regarding Ukraine.
"NATO is expecting a very simple thing – that Russia will comply with international law. Will not be a destabilizing factor for other countries, which unfortunately was and is still happening, if we are talking about Ukraine," Pszczel said.
Russia's relations with NATO deteriorated dramatically after the alliance accused Moscow of destabilizing the situation in conflict-torn Ukraine and condemned Crimea's reunification with Russia in March.
On April 1, NATO ended all practical cooperation with Russia, only maintaining contacts at ambassadorial and higher levels.
