Mikhail Gorbachev — world on brink of new cold war over Ukraine

Mikhail Gorbachev has warned that tensions between the US and Russia over Ukraine have put the world on the brink of a new cold war. 
The former leader of the Soviet Union said: “We must make sure that we get the tensions that have arisen recently under control.”… 
The 83-year-old former leader has accused the west – particularly the US – of “triumphalism” after the collapse of the communist bloc. 
Gorbachev called for new trust to be built through dialogue with Moscow and suggested the west should lift sanctions imposed against senior Russian officials over its actions in eastern Ukraine.
