BRUSSELS: NATO accused Russia Friday of refusing any "genuine dialogue" about its increased military activity, saying there'd been no contact between army brass during the seven months of crisis in Ukraine.

The US-led alliance has reported an upsurge in Russian military flights, especially near its Baltic state members, but also further afield around Norway, Britain and far south into the Atlantic.

"It takes two to have a dialogue and until now, Russia has not demonstrated any interest in genuine dialogue," NATO spokesperson Oana Lungescu told AFP.

"Nor has it returned to compliance with international law and its international obligations and responsibilities. So I would refer you to the Russian authorities for any further questions."

She recalled that NATO foreign ministers had agreed at a meeting in Brussels earlier this month that regular communications between NATO and the Russian military were needed "to avoid any incidents", and for NATO to "keep channels of military communications open."

In response to Russia's intervention in Ukraine and its annexation of Crimea in March, NATO suspended all cooperation with Moscow but said diplomatic channels would remain open.

Another NATO spokesman, Dan Termansen, separately confirmed the long gap in talks with the Russian military.

"There has been no conversation between the NATO military authorities and the Russian Chief of Defence Staff since May, but the lines of communications are open," Termansen said.

NATO's comments come a day after Poland's defence minister said he was concerned by the "unprecedented" increase in Russia's military activity over the Baltic Sea.

'Iraq has now requested NATO support in defense capacity building,' alliance head Jens Stoltenberg tells regional partners at the NATO and Gulf Security conference in Qatar

BRUSSELS, Belgium - NATO is reviewing an Iraqi request for help building up its military as the government struggles to beat back extremist Islamic State (IS) jihadists, the alliance said Thursday, December 11.

"Iraq has now requested NATO support in defense capacity building," alliance head Jens Stoltenberg told regional partners at the NATO and Gulf Security conference in Qatar on Thursday.

The ISIS group "poses a grave threat to the Iraqi and the Syrian people, the wider region and all of our nations," he added.

IS made huge gains earlier this year, advancing to Baghdad's doorstep and stoking fears the militants might seize control of the country from the hapless Iraqi government.

A new Iraqi administration, formed under US pressure and supported by a Washington-led anti-IS coalition, has managed to hold the line, but has repeatedly asked for more help to drive IS back.

NATO leaders at a September summit designated fighting IS a top priority for the alliance, many of whose 28 members are in the anti-IS coalition and help Baghdad separately.

"The more we cooperate, the safer we will be," Stoltenberg said, listing the need to protect vital sea lanes, energy supplies and critical infrastructure.

A NATO official said the alliance could make available its "extensive expertise in supporting, advising and assisting nations to build national defence and related security capacities."
