Voice of America: Carter, NATO Defense Chiefs to Focus on Russia
U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Monday there is neither a desire for a return to a Cold War nor for a new conflict with Russia, and that economic sanctions are having an effect in countering Russian "aggression" in Ukraine.
He spoke at a forum in Berlin, a city that once symbolized the Cold War, where he was also meeting with German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen. Both were due to travel later Monday to Muenster to meet with their counterparts from Norway and the Netherlands.
Carter said the West was not seeking a new confrontation with Moscow.
