Russia Interested in Resumption of Previous Military Programs With NATO

Russia is interested in carrying out a non-politicized review of the previously active NATO-Russia joint military programs and their further resumption, Russian Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov said.

Russia also wants to exchange information with the alliance on the terrorist threat in Europe, he said.

"The Russian side is interested in organizing a non-politicized review of previously existing military programs in the format of Russia-NATO Council for the purpose of resumption of their implementation, as well as the exchange of information and assessment of the current terrorist threat in Europe, in particular, to counter Daesh," Antonov told the Russian newspaper Nezavisimaya Gazeta.
