Remove forces and capabilities from the front area. so i think its appropriate that nato shows him that if he continues these actions, what hell actually get is what he didnt want, which is more forces and troops in the reported area. so thats good. but the other area of thats good. but the other area of thatis thats good. but the other area of that is also beyond moving additional battle groups forward. i think we need to look at raising the overall readiness of natos forces, the nrf to be more...

Seen. they have always moved forces back and forth. we see movement of forces _ back and forth. we see movement of forces doesnt confirm a real withdrawal. lets go live to brussels where our correspondent jonathan beale is ahead of the latest meeting of nato defence ministers. what is the point of them getting together today to hopefully achieve what? , ., ., ., ,. ,, what? they are going to discuss the next steps- — what? they are going to discuss the next steps. there _ what? they are going ...

The last administration, and american support for nato. we may well see with american troops streaming to europe by the thousands, we may well see according to jens stoltenberg yesterday, the establishment of battle groups on the eastern frontier of nato that never needed to be there before. but russias threat to the eastern frontier of nato may, in fact, create not just a greater resoluteness, if you will, in nato, but also action to defend the nato area. >> ben rhodes, your take on the zelensk...

Nato leaders whove been meeting in brussels say theyre considering strengthening the bloc�*s eastern flank, in the light of the crisis over ukraine. that would mean creating new battle groups in central and southern europe. nato also says, its seen no evidence to confirm russias claims, that some forces have been pulling back, following the completion of military exercises in crimea. police in london are investigating allegations of cash for honours linked to one of the prince of wales�*s ch...

Genocide or ethnic cleansing, that the russians could stage a drone strike. talking about even a fake or even a real attack using chemical weapons, that they would blame on the ukrainians. secretary blinken going through and detailing all these very specific possibilities that they say the russians are currently planning to do as a pretext to launch an actual invasion to retaliate against ukrainian aggression. >> also, erin, u.s. intel says there are no signs of russian de-escalation as russia h...

My job was to study the border of battle and viability of the russian invasion routes. and that is real. i know the people in ukraine are taking a rather, you know, casual approach towards it. they dont believe the russians are going to win bug. and, you as one of your previous reporters put it earlier that, is changing in the last 48 hours. its not anywhere near what he would would expect. there is no panic going on here at all. however, the russian battle groups that are around this country ar...

Thanks so much. _ lets talk to general philip breedlove — hes a retired four—star general in the united states air force and served as natos supreme allied commander in europe from 2013 to 2016. thank you so much forjoining us, you are very welcome. i want to go back to something that was said earlier — he was talking about strengthening the defence, talking about new battle groups in central and southeastern europe could be in romania and the black sea region. what he think about that, st...

Indeed we hear that the russian defence ministry had announced that they were building that bridge as part of what it calls its military exercises in belarus near the border with the ukraine. i think there are some differences about some of the intelligence. for example, youve heard more than 100,000 russian troops, some people say 130,000. weve also heard ben wallace talking about 150,000 troops. the point they are making is that that build—up hasnt gone away, that even if troops are being mo...

Ukraine if president putin decided to. i think its a case of once bitten, twice shy. remember, last yearthe bitten, twice shy. remember, last year the west saw russia build up its forces on the ukrainian border and then withdraw some of them, but they left equipment behind and each time they have reset their military posture higher. so that is why nato defence ministers here are discussing their own military posture. if you remember after 2014 and the invasion of crimea, nato put in battle group...
