Stoltenberg: NATO still has ‘clear disagreements’ with Russia over Ukraine crisis

"Allies and Russia continue to have clear disagreements on the crisis in and around Ukraine," Stoltenberg told a news conference. According to him, the allies called on Russia to use its significant influence on the militants to meet their obligations in full. In addition, NATO countries raised serious concerns about Russia's recognition of identity documents issued by the separatists, imposing the Russian currency and seizure of companies. The NATO Secretary-General also noted that intense fighting continued to rage in eastern Ukraine despite a formal ceasefire.
