Twice, but we actually did the opposite, we declared that we would not send any nato troops into ukraine. we parked that way, we failed to recognise that ukrainian security is european security, and the consequences of this invasion right across europe are now being felt, notjust from a security perspective, but from an economic perspective, but from an economic perspective as well. we are now moving into a new face of this crisis. we cannot be timid or risk averse, we have to be more united. we have to assist ukraine militarily and look to see how it can be done, whether it be weapons systems...

We're back at the white house with this special edition of "white house reports." i'm peter alexander alongside kristen welker. our colleague ali vitarelli is at the white house. there he's focused on security. what do you have? >> reporter: yeah, guys, just a few minutes down the road from where you, are the preparations here are both physical and political in nature. on the physical front, this campus is once again fortified. that fencing, hundreds of national guard, all of those in preparation here as the capitol fortifies from a security perspective and then on the political fronts, of cou...

Ukrainians and the russians. president zelensky of ukraine himself has indicated he may be willing to discuss neutrality. he says, "i've cooled down after we understood "that nato is not prepared to accept ukraine." so he's right, isn't he, that the way out is through talking? i agree that you should not dismiss any opportunity to talk, but every time that there's been discussions in the last few weeks, it's always been to cover something that's just happened. we had the bombing of a hospital and immediately, the next day, there was an announcement to say that talks will then take place, movin...
