Gorbachev: New Cold War could turn into armed conflict

"And if one calls things by their proper name, it has already drawn us into a new Cold War, attempting to overtly realize its general idea of dominance. And where will this lead us all? A Cold War is already explicitly under way. And what's next? Unfortunately, I cannot say firmly that such a Cold War would not result in an actual one. They could take such risks, I am afraid," Gorbachev said.

"Some countries of Europe live well, while other not quite well, and their dependence on the U.S. is excessive, including in Germany," he said.

Washington on Wednesday threatened Moscow with new sanctions, warning that they will "only become more severe unless Moscow stops supporting pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine.

EU ministers are today discussing an escalation of the organization's policy toward Russia, in the wake of the latest flareup of violence in eastern Ukraine.
