NATO says will hold Russia council meeting on April 20

Brussels (AFP) April 12, 2016 – NATO will hold its first formal talks in nearly two years with Russia on April 20 to discuss the Ukraine crisis and other security issues, the US-led military alliance said Tuesday.
“The date has been mutually agreed,” a NATO spokeswoman told AFP, after alliance head Jens Stoltenberg said last week the two sides would shortly hold their first NATO-Russia Council meeting since June 2014.
