Putin warns of 'military bloc mentality'published at 08:42 British Summer Time 9 May 2015
President Putin warned that global tensions were growing again, endangering global progress and the peaceful coexistence of nations.
"In recent decades the basic principles of international co-operation have been ignored ever more frequently. The principles that mankind achieved through suffering after the global ordeals of the war. We have seen attempts to create a unipolar world. We see how a military bloc mentality is gaining momentum. All this is undermining the stability of global development."
