Russias foreign minister has called for a post-West world order while addressing global leaders at an international security conference.
Sergey Lavrov accused Nato of being a Cold War institution and accused its expansion of sparking unprecedented tensions in Europe as both sides expand military deployments and drills.
He said he hoped responsible leaders will choose to create a just world order if you want you can call it a post-West world order.
Donald Trump says a Russia-US conflict would be a nuclear holocaust like no other
Mr Lavrov also denied allegations of attempted interference in elections in US and Germany, telling delegates: Whenever Russia gets blamed, there are no facts Ive seen no facts, only accusations.

as a hold-over from the cold war.
The pressure on Nato isn't necessarily just via rhetoric either, Trump has been bullish on member contributions etc and Russia:
Russia plotted to overthrow Montenegro's government by assassinating Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic
Russia plotted to assassinate the prime minister of a European nation and overthrow its government last year, according to senior Whitehall sources.
An election-day coup plot to attack Montenegros parliament and kill the pro-Western leader was directed by Russian intelligence officers with the support and blessing of Moscow, to sabotage the countrys plan to join Nato.

But British and American intelligence agencies called in to help the Montenegrin authorities unravel the conspiracy are understood to have gathered evidence of high-level Russian complicity.
Encrypted phone calls, email traffic and testimony from plotters-turned-informants are now part of the criminal investigation of 21 conspirators accused of terrorism and preparing acts against the constitutional order of Montenegro.
Predrag Bosković, Montenegrin defence minister, told The Telegraph there is not any doubt that the plot was financed and organised by Russian intelligence officers alongside local radicals.
