NATO, Russia Meeting Fails to Bridge Differences
Source: New York Times
BRUSSELS — The first meeting of the NATO-Russia council in nearly two years failed to bridge differences between Moscow and the alliance, NATO's chief said Wednesday.
The meeting, which ran more than 90 minutes over schedule, was the occasion for a "frank and serious" discussion about the situation in Ukraine, issues related to military activities of the alliance and Russia, and the security situation in and around Afghanistan, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said.
"NATO and Russia have profound and persistent differences," Stoltenberg said. "Today's meeting did not change that."
No decisions were announced as a result of the meeting, the councils first since June 2014. "I expect we will meet again" Stoltenberg said, without announcing or predicting a date.
