Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg will convene a meeting between high NATO diplomats and officials from Ukraine on January 10, the military alliance has announced, Reuters reports. The meeting is to be held in the newly-created format NATO-Ukraine and will take place upon Kyiv’s request in the wake of the the latest rocket and drone attacks against civilians and localities from Ukraine, a NATO spokesman has announced. Russia stepped up its attacks around the New Year’s Eve, after President Putin had cautioned that Ukraine’s air raid over the Russian city of Belgorod, which Moscow claims that it killed 25 civilians, would not go unpunished.
