NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the Alliance permanent member states are looking into prospects of restoring NATO-Russia ties.

"We decided to define how to better use Russia-NATO Council for political cooperation with Moscow," he said during a press-conference in Brussels.

Stoltenberg also noted that the date of the new Russia-NATO summit will be decided later.

The NATO-Russia council, which was launched in 2002, suspended all operations in April 2014 over NATO's allegations of Moscow' involvement in the Ukrainian crisis — a claim that Moscow had repeatedly denied.
