Here's a NATO-related update from RFE/RL's news desk:
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg says the alliance is very concerned about numerous cease-fire breaches in Ukraine.
In Warsaw on his first foreign trip, the new NATO chief also described the alliance's "task number one" as reinforcing the security of its members and "supporting an independent, democratic, and west-oriented Ukraine."
Russian President Vladimir Putin's Security Council on October 6 also called the cease-fire in Ukraine very fragile, particularly in the area of Donetsk airport.
Stoltenberg vowed in Warsaw to maintain "a continuous presence and activity in the eastern part of our alliance."
In comments broadcast on October 5, Stoltenberg told the Polish state broadcaster TVP Info that NATO could deploy its forces "wherever" it wanted, potentially calling into question its 1997 promise to Russia that it would not permanently station significant combat forces in the east.
