NATO-Russia Council to meet on Monday

NATO envoys will hold a formal meeting with Russia on Monday after Moscow agreed to discuss the conflict in eastern Ukraine. The NATO-Russia Council, the forum bringing together Russia's top diplomat to the U.S.-led alliance and NATO ambassadors, will meet for only the third time this year, Reuters reported.

"I have invited the members of the NATO-Russia Council to a meeting on Monday," NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told reporters, saying Ukraine was on the agenda.
