NATO and Russia to discuss eastern Ukraine tensions in hope to avert a military confrontation there after inconclusive talks between Washington and Moscow
Moscow wants US-led military alliance NATO to stay away from Russian borders and step back from neighbouring Ukraine.
The US hopes the diplomacy will head off what it sees as Russia's implied threat to launch a new military incursion into Ukraine — without giving much ground on Russia's demands. Meanwhile, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday reiterated his demand that France and Germany join a new international summit between Moscow and Kiev to end the conflict.
As the Ukrainian leader pressed for a revival of Paris and Berlin's role, US negotiator Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman was at NATO headquarters to brief European allies. After more than seven hours of negotiations in Geneva on Monday, the Russian and US officials both offered to keep talking, though there was no breakthrough.
