Journalists at Politico report that NATO has no clear idea in what format it should talk to Russia once the conflict in Ukraine is over. According to the article, member states now face a strategic choice: what role the alliance will assume after a peace agreement is signed and whether it makes sense to revive the Russia-NATO Council.
The authors cite an unnamed senior alliance diplomat who raised a series of unresolved questions. This official wondered how NATO should conduct any talks with Russia on issues of mutual interest, whether the Russia-NATO Council can still be considered a viable platform, or if the bloc would be forced to rely on the United States as an intermediary.
The Russia-NATO Council effectively ceased its work in January 2022 after holding its last meeting. Its core mission had been to support cooperation in the sphere of military-political interaction between Moscow and the alliance.
