NATO set to green-light formal ties with Russia

Brussels-APA. NATO foreign ministers are set Thursday to green-light the resumption of formal high-level ties with Russia while reassuring Georgia and Ukraine they have a future in the military alliance.
NATO diplomats confirmed Wednesday an in-principle agreement to end the freeze, sparked by Russia’s war with Georgia last August, in an effort to cement ties with Moscow despite lingering tensions.
Official high-level talks between NATO and Russia -- in the so-called NATO-Russia Council -- have been on hold since August, but resumed informally in December.
In an effort to ease the concerns of Georgia and Ukraine, both striving to join NATO in the face of Russian objections, the ministers will also meet Thursday with Georgian and Ukrainian representatives.
