NATO is open to communication with Russia and will not prevent the alliance’s members from cooperating with Moscow, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said Thursday, Sputnik reports.
"Actually, NATO decided at our summit in Warsaw in July this year that we will keep chance open for political dialogue with Russia … Russia is our biggest neighbor and we have to talk to them, we cannot isolate them, we have to sit down and address different issues both as NATO, as allies, but also and as individual allies," Stoltenberg said.
Stoltenberg stressed that "for NATO it is not a problem" if its allies discuss different issues with Russia.
