The member states of NATO will hold a new series of formal talks with Russia next week.
This was announced on Thursday by an official from the Atlantic Alliance. This announcement comes whilst relations remain fraught, owing to the conflict in Ukraine.
The official said, “A meeting of the NATO Council at ambassador level is due to take place on July 13th at NATO Headquarters in Brussels.” He did not wish to give more details upon the content of the discussions between ambassadors of the 28 member states, and their Russian counterpart.
