Sputnik is live from the virtual press briefing of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, which is being held after an extraordinary meeting of member countries' foreign ministers on Thursday.
The meeting took place ahead of major Russia-NATO talks, which are scheduled for 12 January. Previously, Moscow came forward with security proposals, publishing two draft agreements on mutual guarantees with the US and NATO.
The proposals suggest that both sides refrain from deploying intermediate- and short-range missiles within striking distance of each other. The agreements also put a limit on troop, aircraft, and warship deployment, and stipulate that the alliance won't expand closer to Russia’s borders.
