From Russia Today:  Russia will seek direct opportunities to sell weapons to NATO member states, according to Russia’s envoy to the alliance, Dmitry Rogozin.

He also said Moscow is considering sending weapons to Afghanistan to assist its present government.

In return, the Alliance might lift all barriers for free military trade between Moscow and NATO member states.

Last December, the alliance’s secretary general asked Russia to supply Kabul with military helicopters.
