Russia and NATO have agreed to restart their relationship after a year of it ending because of the conflict in Georgia. Russia is not a member of NATO but is a member of the NATO-Russia Council which consults, cooridinates and reaches joint decisions and carries them out in regards to terrorism, cooperation on Afghanistan and military exercises. Relationships were strained between NATOand Russia over the 2008 breakaway of South Ossetia. It was the first time Russia sent troops abroad since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.
It is a good article but if you don't have any previous knowledge of this situation it could be confusing but it also peaks your interest. I like how they use a quote in the lead. Also the word frozen in a good vision aide to this story.
