NATO Chief Says Relations With Russia at Their Lowest Since Cold War
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said Thursday relations between the alliance and Russia are at their lowest point since the Cold War ended.
Stoltenberg made the comments as NATO defense ministers began two-day meetings in Brussels.
Tensions have risen between Russia and NATO over recent weeks, as Russia announced Monday it was suspending its permanent mission to NATO in response to the alliance’s expulsion of eight Russians earlier this month. The alliance had accused the Russians of spying, which the Kremlin denied.
