Stoltenburg: 'significant differences' in NATO Russia talks

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Wednesday that the military alliance and Russia have agreed to try to schedule more meetings, despite tensions over Moscow’s military buildup near Ukraine. Speaking after chairing a meeting of the NATO-Russia Council, Stoltenberg said both parties had “expressed the need to dialogue and explore a schedule of future meetings.” But Stoltenberg said any talks about Ukraine would not be easy. 

The talks come during a week of high-stakes diplomacy and a U.S.-led effort to prevent preparations for what Washington believes could be a Russian invasion of Ukraine. Moscow denies it is planning an attack.
