"His (summit. - RT) the results demonstrate that the organization has finally returned to the schemes of the Cold War, "the statement said.

The ministry stressed that the actions of the alliance are based on the ideology of dividing the world into "democracies and autocracies."

Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, said that the Ukraine-NATO Council would cease to exist, as one of the parties would disappear.

Valentina Matvienko, Chairman of the Federation Council of Russia, previously expressed the opinion that the summit of the North Atlantic Alliance would not bring peace to Ukraine.
