US can't put allies and Russia on same footing: Germany

MUNICH, Germany, , (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 17th Feb, 2017 ) - The United States should not put its allies and Russia on the same footing, Germany's defence minister said Friday. "There cannot be a policy of equi-distance to allies and to those who openly question our values, our borders and international law," Ursula von der Leyen told the Munich Security Conference.

"It means we must pursue a reliable relationship with Russia, instead of going above partners' heads in bilateral negotiations," she added.
