NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said on Friday that the organization is committed to a successful conversation with Russia, but that it will not compromise on fundamental security matters, such as the countries' right to join the alliance.

At a briefing following a virtual meeting of the bloc's foreign ministers, Stoltenberg said: "It was a very strong and unified message from all allies today."

NATO Secretary-General continued, "We need to engage in dialogue in a good faith and actually do whatever we can, make every effort to ensure a political path forward, but at the same time, all our allies also sent a very clear message that we will not compromise on core principles, including right for every nation to decide its own path."

On December 17, Russia presented NATO and the US with security guarantees aimed at preventing the alliance from expanding eastward and prohibiting the deployment of intermediate and short-range missiles within range of each other's territory, among other things.
