The crisis in Ukraine will be discussed at the upcoming NATO meeting of Foreign Ministers.

As an alliance spokesman told Interfax in Brussels on Tuesday, "though Ukraine as such is not formally on the agenda of the Foreign Ministers meeting, we expect that Ukraine will come up in the discussions today on NATO partnerships."

As reported, the NATO foreign ministers will convene at the alliance's headquarters on December 3-4. Meetings of the NATO-Russia Council and the NATO-Georgia Commission will be held on the sidelines of the session.

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen told Interfax earlier that the NATO-Ukraine Commission would not meet for obvious reasons.
