In the long term he imagines a "true strategic partnership" between Russia and NATO. But he insists that the organization will remain open to new members - which potentially means Ukraine and Georgia, both of whom have...
...coats, paper and rope before placing her in a cart. "I think we could bounce her from alp to alp, all the way to Munich, without doing her any harm," an American conservationist said at the time. Instead, they sent her to Belgium. After two years in a cold, dark mine, the Madonna was home...
