“I hope that they (NATO) would respond to the questions put forward by President Barack Obama and me, and we will be able to forge a missile defence cooperation model.

“If we don’t, then we will have to take retaliatory measures… then we will have to force the development of our strike nuclear potential,” Medvedev told a news conference with Russian journalists at the Skolkovo School of Management.

“It would be a very bad scenario, this scenario will take us back to the Cold War era,” the Russian president added.
