BRUSSELS, Jan 12 (Reuters) - The differences between Russia and NATO over Ukraine will not be easy to bridge, the head of the military alliance said on Wednesday after the first meeting of the NATO-Russia Council in Brussels for two years.
"There are significant differences between NATO allies and Russia," NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told reporters after the talks at the alliance's headquarters.
"Our differences will not be easy to bridge, but it is a positive sign that all NATO allies and Russia sat down around the same table and engaged on substantive topics."
