Nato and Russia to discuss Ukraine
Nato and Russia are to meet to discuss the Ukraine crisis, which has severely strained relations since Moscow`s annexation of Crimea in 2014.
The Nato-Russia Council will convene in the next two weeks to discuss the peace process in eastern Ukraine, as well as the situation in Afghanistan.

But Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg warned that it was not a "return to business as usual".

Nato has moved to bolster its forces in its east European member states.

The forthcoming meeting, Mr Stoltenberg said, was "the continuation of our political dialogue as agreed by Nato heads of state and government".

"At the same time, there will be no return to business as usual until Russia again respects international law," he added.

The Nato-Russia Council was established in 2002 but meetings were suspended after June 2014.
