LONDON (Reuters) - NATO's secretary-general on Wednesday warned Russia against using force against neighbour Ukraine, and told Reuters that Moscow knows it would pay a high price through sanctions and other steps from the West for any aggression.

"We all made it very clear that there will be a high price to pay and, and sanctions is one of the options," Jens Stoltenberg said in an interview at the Reuters Next conference.
