Russia poses no immediate threat to NATO countries and the military alliance still hopes bilateral relations will improve, Reuters cited its Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg as saying on Thursday. "What we see is more unpredictability, more insecurity, more unrest... (But) I believe we don't see any immediate threat against any NATO country from the east," he told NRK public radio. Stoltenberg, a former Norwegian prime minister, said he hoped relations between the alliance and Russia could improve.
