“We have submitted written proposals from NATO and the US on arms control and transparency.

This shows that we are ready for discussion, ready to listen to Russia's concerns, ”RIA Novosti quoted Stoltenberg as saying on the air of the ARD TV channel.

According to him, the alliance is ready to try to find a solution that will help both NATO and Russia.

He noted that the issue of arms control plays an important role for both sides.

Earlier, Stoltenberg said that if Moscow's goal is to have fewer alliance forces on its borders, then Russia will only get "more NATO."
