Commitments, which says an attack on one is an attack on all, and over the last few weeks, we sent troops, and i have authorized the deployment of ground and air forces already stations in europe to natos eastern plank allies. our allies have also been stepping up, adding the other allies, the rest of nato, adding their own forces and capabilities to ensure a collective defense. today within hours of russias unleashing its assault, nato came together and authorized and activated an activation of...

All, and that would incredibly raise the stakes. neil? neil: griff, thank you. that was very clearly laid out, i appreciate that, as do our viewers. griff was mentioning, it could explain why nato for the first time in its history activated a response force. now, keep in mind ukraine is not a nato member. it wanted to be and, of course, there were all sorts of difficulties over the years getting it to be. its a moot point at this time, but this activation does have people wondering what is nato ...

That enough of an invasion? still no activation of it. the u.s. troops continue to be here on this prepared to deploy order or heightened state of alert that we keep talking about. but these several hundred u.s. troops already in europe will move forward. its possible we will see more announcements like this in the coming days, depending on what vladimir putin does here. but again, theres still no talk of bringing any additional troops from the united states forward. this saul about reinforcing ...

Them to the level of specificity that we can. as we did again yesterday. but the way that the process works in nato, is you have to approve a defense plant first and then the activation comes second. that happened today. the heads of state approved defense plans. which then gave general walters the authorization he needed to authorize activation of the nrf. now it goes to the nations to fulfill those needs. we have to be in consultation with nato about what those needs are. again, to my answer t...

Commits, which says an attack on one is an attack on all. over the past few weeks, i ordered a thousand additional why forces as parking lot of our commitment to nato. on tuesday in response to russias aggressive action, i authorized deployment ground and air forces stationed in europe to the eastern flank allies. our allies have also been stepping up adding the other allies, the rest of nato, adding their own forces and capabilities to ensure collective defense. today within hours of russias un...

Will be determined. but just the signal that nato has activated this force sends a very powerful signal that nato is united, that the north atlantic counsel has supported through the secretary-general, the superb allied commander and that nato is prepared to resist and defend nato territory with its very best forces. and thats the signal that the activation of this force conveys. >> courtney, we have 50,000 troops in europe. >> 80,000 u.s. troops. if we sent more to europe, where would they be c...

Statements of president putin. we reject any notions of the spheres of influence and we reject any limited sovereignty which russia wants to impoesz on the neighbors, be it ukraine, be it georgia, muldova or any country surrounding the russian federation. >> and georgia and muldova both have some areas which are russian controlled as a result. there has been the activation for the first time in natos history of a defense force, an active response force and some of it which will be in the baltic ...

Bilateral u.s. military, u.s. government decision, this would be the activation of the nato response force. thats a nato decision. all signals we have been getting from nato officials and the united states is they dont expect that to happen unless vladimir putin invades, that that nato response force would be activated. but that opens the question now the u.s. government is saying russia bringing some of these so-called peacekeeping troops across the border into these breakaway regions, that con...

That he has ordered additional forces to europe. is that part of what you just described, and second question is, so nato has activated a portion of the rapid -- or the response force. and you cant say how many troops the u.s. will contribute to that because they havent asked for any troops? >> so the -- in the presidents statement, i think he was referring to his announcement yesterday. this was a read out of his call with president zelenskyy and he was reiterating that -- in that conversation,...

Round of talks. on the belarus border. what about belarus role and how ukrainians feel about that? >> last week, we know that the president of belarus had said that belarus has no plans to get involved in this conflict. recently as monday, ukrainian intelligence was suggesting that belarus troops were perhaps readying themselves to get involved. the "washington post" was quoting an american source saying something similar. now according to to the ukrainian negotiators. thats no longer the case. ...
