DISINFO: Political disagreements are behind the halt of the NATO-Russia Council
SUMMARY
Political disagreements over Ukraine and the accession of Crimea to Russia led to the almost complete halt of meetings between Russia and the alliance (NATO) in the form of the “NATO-Russia Council”.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the illegal annexation of Crimea.
Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea and the ensuing war in Donbas are some of the main reasons behind the deterioration in NATO-Russian relations.
There is irrefutable evidence of direct Russian military involvement in the region since February 2014 which has been well documented for years by incidents such as the covert invasion of “little green men".
As for the meetings of the NATO-Russia Council (NRC), the alliance made it clear that following Russia’s illegal military intervention in Ukraine and its violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity in April 2014, the Alliance suspended all practical cooperation between NATO and Russia including that which took place in the framework of the NRC.
