NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg says the alliance is ready to increase its troop presence in eastern Europe as Russia moves troops and weapons into Belarus. The comments came as President Vladimir Putin said the U.S. and NATO have not addressed Russia's main security demands in their standoff over Ukraine. But Moscow is ready to continue the talks. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says he expects to meet US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in the next couple of weeks.
