Moscow denies rumors: Vladimir Putin will attend the Russia-NATO summit in Bucharest
Putin's participation was also confirmed by the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, who added that Russia sees the NATO enlargement plans as not corresponding to the current reality. "The challenges are the same for everyone and a mechanical expansion of blocks inherited since the Cold War is not an answer. Not by assimilating territories, but through fighting along together, we can meet these challenges", said the official.
On the other hand, the White House confirmed that George W. Bush and Vladimir Putin will meet in Soci, on the Black Sea shore, on April 6, to discuss various problems, from the Iranian file to the European conventional weapons and the anti-missile shield.
