NATO chief rejects Russia demand to deny Ukraine entry
AFP, 11 Dec 2021
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg rejects Russia's call for the West to withdraw its invitation to Ukraine to join the alliance. "NATO's relationship with Ukraine is going to be decided by the 30 NATO allies and Ukraine -- no one else," Stoltenberg says, at a joint news conference with Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Earlier, Russia's foreign ministry had said that NATO should formally scrap a 2008 declaration opening the door to Georgia and Ukraine, two former Soviet republics. SOUNDBITE
