Thanks to its unrestricted partnership and support of the Russian defense industrial base. This includes the transfer of dual-use materials such as weapons, components, equipment and raw materials," the NATO Secretary General said at a press conference with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre in Norway.
