MOSCOW, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Russian Deputy Defence Minister Alexander Fomin said after talks with NATO in Brussels on Wednesday that Moscow had offered de-escalation measures to the U.S.-led alliance, but that NATO had ignored them, Interfax news agency reported.
Fomin said that NATO ignoring the proposed measures created the grounds for incidents and conflicts, Interfax said.
Russia's Defence Ministry was quoted separately by TASS news agency as saying that Russia was counting on constructive security talks with NATO. (Reporting by Andrey Ostroukh; writing by Tom Balmforth; editing by Mark Heinrich)
