Russia, NATO Working Out Content, Date of Next Council Meeting
08:19 GMT 30.06.2016 (Updated: 08:21 GMT 30.06.2016) Russia's envoy to NATO said Moscow and the alliance were working on the content and time of the next NATO-Russia Council meeting.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russia and NATO are working out the content and time for the next NATO-Russia Council meeting, Russia's envoy to the alliance said Thursday.
"Working contacts are currently continuing on both the content and time [of the meeting]. I think there will be clarity on these issues shortly," Alexander Grushko told RIA Novosti.
Since 2014,
NATO has been building up its military presence in Europe, using Moscow's alleged interference in Ukraine as a pretext for the move. Moscow has repeatedly denied the claims and warned NATO that the military buildup on Russia’s borders is provocative and threatens the existing strategic balance of power.
Earlier, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the alliance would like to hold a meeting of the Russia-NATO Council before the alliance's July summit in the Polish capital of Warsaw. The Warsaw NATO Summit 2016 will take place on July 8-9, with members of the alliance set to discuss increasing military activities on NATO's eastern flank.
