Russia insists its relations with NATO will not improve unless the western military alliance adopts a new policy toward it.
Russia's envoy to NATO, Alexander Grushko, says no one should expect a breakthrough in diplomatic relations when representatives from the two sides meet in Brussels later this month. It will be their first meeting since the Ukraine crisis. The date of the forum has not been disclosed yet but the agenda includes the implementation of the ceasefire deal in Ukraine, known as "Minsk-2", NATO's military activity and Afghanistan. The western military alliance has made it clear that any meeting with Russia will have to address the conflict between Ukrainian government forces and pro-Russian fighters in eastern Ukraine.
