Russia, NATO Fail to Resolve Differences in Ukraine Talks

BRUSSELS—NATO’s chief said significant differences remained with Russia but expressed hope that Moscow would agree to further talks, after the first joint council meeting between the two since 2019.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said after discussions Wednesday that differences would be hard to bridge, with Russia increasing pressure on the West to accept its demands for sweeping security guarantees, and the alliance largely refusing to budge.
