(ANSA-AFP) - BRUSSELS, JAN 10 - NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg warned Russia on Monday of "severe costs" if it launches a further attack on Ukraine, saying he hoped crunch talks could chart a way towards a diplomatic solution. "We are working hard for a peaceful political path and we are ready to continue to work with Russia to try to find that path towards a peaceful solution," Stoltenberg said before meeting Ukraine's deputy prime minister. "At the same time, we need to be prepared that Russia once again chooses to use armed force, chooses confrontation instead of cooperation." (ANSA-AFP).
