NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg held a conference at the Alliance headquarters, where he said that the Allies support peace talks and welcome the emergence of signs from Moscow that diplomacy could continue.

“NATO will not compromise on core principles. NATO has sent concrete written proposals to Russia. On transparency, risk reduction and arms control. NATO is not a threat to Russia. This is the biggest concentration of forces in Europe since the Cold War”, said Jens Stoltenberg.

The NATO Secretary General expressed hope that Russia would change its position.
