Russia-NATO relations have reached the level of the new Cold War, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said addressing the participants of the Munich Security Conference.

NATO political line toward Moscow remains hostile and closed, the prime minister added.

"Russia-NATO relations have reached the level of a new 'cold war'. NATO continues to insist Russia constitutes its main threat — a threat to Europe as well as the US and other countries. Scary movies have been filmed where Russians begin a nuclear war. Sometimes I think: are we in 2016 or in 1962?" Dmitry Medvedev said.

His comments came after the statement by French Prime Minister Manuel Valls, who called on Russia on Saturday to stop bombing civilians in Syria, saying this was crucial for achieving peace in the country.

The Russian PM denied these accusations, saying that there were no evidence of Russia bombing civilians in Syria. "As everyone is accusing us, we need more transparency" he added.
