NATO suspends practical engagement with Russia

NATO suspended all practical cooperation with Russia, today, in protest of Russian involvement in the annexation of Crimea and outlined plans to take measures to strengthen Ukraine’s defences.

Informing the press of NATO’s decision, the Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, said,

“We are suspending all practical cooperation with Russia, military and civilian.”

The German Foreign Minister, Frank-Walter Steinmeier further reiterated that NATO’s future engagement with Russia depended on whether Russia started withdrawing troops from the Ukrainian border.
