West did not stop the policy of containing Russia and hysterical anti-Russian propaganda turned to the events in Ukraine, said Thursday the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, speaking at the Global University Forum 2014 on Thursday.

"The spirit of partnership, as well as working hard to create a climate of genuine trust in our continent have been sacrificed to a policy of containment of the country, from which, in fact, the West has never refused", - he said.

The New York Times on April 20 published an article about Washington's intention to completely revise its relations with Moscow. The publication concludes that the US is preparing to return to the "policy of containment", first described by the American diplomat George Kennan in 1947. It involves co-operation with Russia in the few areas where the interests of the two countries coincide, and ignoring Moscow's system of international relations. The author believes that President Barack Obama will focus on Russia's isolation from the political and economic relations with the world.

At the same time, according to Russian experts, the article can be considered as an official statement of the new approach to Russia, and it looks like the declaration of a new Cold War. According to head of the Center for International Studies and Journalism MIA "Russia Today" Veronica Krasheninnikova in the remaining two and a half years of the presidency, Obama will try to minimize the obstacles posed by Russia.

Russian Foreign Minister said that "is enough to recall the hysterical anti-Russian propaganda that has swept the US and Europe long before the Ukrainian events, the desire by all means to denigrate the Olympic Games in Sochi." At the same time, he noted that about any Ukrainian problem then out of the question.

Russian President Vladimir Putin associates criticism of the Olympic Games with the competitive struggle in the field of international politics, which has nothing to do with sports. Strengthening Russia someone could frighten, but the Games in Sochi allowed to dispel the fears of our country, the President believes. According to Putin, there are critics who are far from the sport, and they used the Olympic project to achieve its own objectives in the area of ​​anti-Russian propaganda.
