At the same time, it is not too late to keep the peace, NATO is seriously focused on finding a political solution.
We provided Russia with concrete proposals in writing, saying that we are ready to discuss arms control, transparency of military activities, missiles and many other issues," Stoltenberg was quoted as saying by TASS.
He also stated that the mission of the alliance is to keep the peace and protect its members.
