Why lie
Relations between the NATO military alliance and the Russian Federationwere established in 1991 within the framework of the North Atlantic Cooperation Council. In 1994, Russia joined the Partnership for Peaceprogram, and on 27 May 1997, the NATO–Russia Founding Act (NRFA) was signed at the 1997 Paris NATO Summit in France, enabling the creation of the NATO–Russia Permanent Joint Council (NRPJC). Through the early part of 2010s NATO and Russia signed several additional agreements on cooperation.[1] The NRPJC was replaced in 2002 by the NATO-Russia Council (NRC), which was established in an effort to partner on security issues and joint projects together.
Despite efforts to structure forums that promote cooperation between Russia and NATO, relations as of 2024 have become severely strained over time due to post-Soviet conflicts and territory disputes involving Russia having broken out, many of which are still ongoing, including:
Azerbaijan (1988–2024)
Moldova (1990–present)
Georgia (2008–present)
Ukraine (2014–present)
Syria (2015–2024)
Turkey (2015–2016)
Kazakhstan (2021–2022)
