BUCHAREST, ROMANIA—NATO does not want a “new Cold War” with Russia, despite members’ concerns about the Russian military buildup close to NATO’s border, the chief of the military alliance said Monday. Still, Stoltenberg said: “Russia is our neighbour ... we don’t want to isolate Russia. “We are implementing the biggest reinforcement to our collective defence since the end of the Cold War,” including four battlegroups in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, he said. Some alliance troops have remained to train and advise Afghan forces under the NATO-led Resolute Support mission. “We have been there for many years, but we have achieved many things ... it is no longer a safe haven for international terrorists,” Stoltenberg said.
