NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called on Wednesday Russia to hold mutual briefings with the alliance as a first practical step in de-escalating tensions in Ukraine.
Delivering remarks at a press conference, he called on Russia to remove its troops from Ukraine and Moldova, and underlined that NATO is ready for dialogue with Moscow.
"We need to have a serious conversation about arms control, including nuclear weapons and ground-based intermediate- and short-range missiles," Stoltenberg said.
