Russia-Ukraine war LIVE: NATO concerned over deepening Russia-China and Russia-India ties?

s30 and S35 Fighters one of the primary advantages of the f-16s is its potential to enhance Ukraine’s ability to counter Russian air strikes with their Advanced avionics and weapon systems these Fighters could potentially deter some of the devastating attacks on civilian infrastructure that have become a constant feature of Russia’s campaign however the effectiveness of the f-16s will be tested against Russia’s formidable suco fighter jets including the su27 su3 and S35 these Russian aircraft have proven their metal in various combat scenarios and their pilots boast extensive experience Russian media claims that specialized tactics have been developed to counter the F-16 suggesting a level of preparedness for this new threat Bure report weon world is one for more on the story we are now being joined by Jane kinanm director of policy and impact at the European leadership Network she’s joining us from Washington DC thank you so much for joining us on weon and welcome to the show it appears that NATO leaders are reaffirming their commitment to Ukraine with a promise of additional military aid as well as weapons what are your thoughts on this and how do you see these developments well thank you very much for inviting me on I’m here at the NATO public forum which gathers about 600 experts to come and listen to leaders who are popping in and out at the summit next door and it is really interesting you to hear the perception that that you are articulating that not enough is being done to prepare for peace and the perception that spending more on Military is about preparing for war it seems like different standing here the way it is being articulated is very much natal countries thinking that they don’t have a choice a lots of people are saying the only language that Russia understands is power and they are arming to defend natal territory rather than to attack but of course in this world where people in different places perceive things so differently it is very easy for one man’s defense to be perceived by another as preparing for aggression so I do agree that finding more communication challenge is extremely important one of the things we been talking about here is the recent visit of VOR Orban to Moscow uh and how it makes no sense to leave these contacts to somebody that is going with one country’s agenda you know what are the ways to actually have a more constructive multil dialogue really the way it seems from here it’s about defense it’s not about attack very interesting and following up on uh your analysis do you think NATO member states are prioritizing military aid over diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict well NATO is originally a military Alliance although it has political elements it does have political meetings but at the end of it is an alliance that is focused primarily on defense and terrist while you need also to look at the UN the organization for security and cooperation in Europe which is unfortunately not very active at the moment and also the European Union uh for and bilateral countries for more diplomacy there has been recently a summit in Switzerland which did not include Russia but which was designed to try to get more countries on page to think aboutut negoti we look like problem is still about territory and it’s about trust so in territory that is a sense among naal countries even a country like turkey that otherwise is quite good relations with Russia that it’s dangerous uh to S territory to Russia because it might take more and that’s what also brings us to trust that I think both Russians and people in NATO are skeptical that if a peace agreement is reached that it will last so again a lot of the talk here is about giving security guarantees to Ukraine but that’s also important you know if there was to be some kind of peace agreement to make sure that whatever was agreed became stable because around the world we often see examples where peace agreements are reached but they not implen it so how to implement them you know at a time when there’s very little TR in law at okay well we’ll be watching very closely we do know that President Biden in just a few hours from now will be meeting with Ukrainian president vlir zalinski I’m sure we’ll get a lot more news coming out of that meeting and I really look forward to speaking to you again

the CNN report the outgoing NATO Secretary General Yen stoltenberg said that there had been a Russian campaign of hostile acts against NATO which had only led to allies stepping up support for Ukraine Yan stoltenberg was speaking at NATO Summit in Washington what I can say is that we have seen a pattern a Russian campaign organized by the security services uh to conduct hostile actions against NATO allies across the lines with sabotage attempts with cyber attacks with Aron with different types of uh of hostile actions against NATO allies and these are not Standalone incidents these are part of a pattern part of ongoing Russian campaign and the purpose of this campaign is of course to intimidate uh NATO allies from supporting Ukraine as per the report the plan to assassinate Ryan metol CEO was

suggesting a level of preparedness for this new threat bu report we are world is one for more on the story we are now being joined by Jane Kenmont director of policy and impact at the European leadership Network she’s joining us from Washington DC thank you so much for joining us on weon and wel welcome to the show it appears that NATO leaders are reaffirming their commitment to Ukraine with a promise of additional military aid as well as Weapons what are your thoughts on this and how do you see these developments well thank you very much for inviting me on I’m here at the NATO public forum which gathers about 600 experts to come and listen to leaders who are popping in and out the summit next door and it is really interesting you know to hear the perception that that you are articulating that not enough is being done to prepare for peace and the perception that spending more on militaries is about preparing for war it seems slightly different standing here the way it is being articulated is very much natal countries thinking that they don’t have a choice a lot of people are saying the only language that Russia understands is power and they are arming to defend natal territory rather than to attack but of course in this world where people in different places perceive things so differently it is very easy for one man’s defense to be perceived by another as preparing for aggression so I do agree that finding more communication channels is extremely important one of the things we have been talking about here is the recent visit of Victor Orban to Moscow uh and how it makes no sense to leave these contacts to some that is going with one country’s agenda you what are the ways to actually have a more constructive multil dialogue really the way it seems from here it’s about defense it’s not about attack very interesting and following up on uh your analysis do you think that NATO member states are prioritizing military aid over diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict well NATO is originally a military Alliance although it has a political element it does have political beatings but at the end of the day it is an alliance that is focused primarily on defense and Terror while you need also s to look at the UN the organization for security and cooperation in Europe which is unfortunately not very active at the moment and also the European Union uh for and bilateral countries for more diplomacy there has been recently a summit in Switzerland which did not include Russia but which was designed to try to get more countries on the same page to think about like what a future negotiate would look like problem is still about territory and it’s about trust so territory that is a sense among natal countries even a country like turkey that otherwise has quite good relations with Russia that it’s dangerous uh to see territory to Russia because it might take more and that’s what also brings us to trust that I think both Russians and people in NATO are quite skeptical that if a peace agreement is reached that it will last so again a loss of to talk here is about giving security guarantees to Ukraine but that’s also important you know if there was to be some kind of peace agreement to make sure that whatever was agreed became stable because around the world we often see examples where peace agreements are reached but they’re not implemented so how to implement them you know at a time when there’s very little TR innal law andal okay well we’ll be watching very closely we do know that President Biden in just a few hours from now will be meeting with Ukrainian president vlir zinski I’m sure we’ll get a lot more news coming out of that meeting and I really look forward to speaking to you again very soon thank

constructive multilateral dialogue really the way it seems from here it’s about defense it’s not about attack very interesting and following up on uh your analysis do you think NATO member states are priori izing military aid over diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict well NATO is originally a military Alliance although it has a political element it does have political meetings but at the end of the day it is an alliance that is focused primarily on defense and the terrist while you need also to look at the UN the the organization for security and cooperation in Europe which is unfortunately not very active at the moment and also the the European Union uh for and bilateral countries for more diplomacy there has been recently a summit in Switzerland which did not include Russia but which was designed to try to get more countries on the same page to think about what fut negotiate s would look like the problem is still about territory and it’s about trust so territory that is a sense among naal countries even the country like turkey that otherwise has quite good relations with Russia that it’s dangerous uh to se territory to Russia because it might take more and that’s what also brings us to trust that I think both Russians and people in NATO are quite skeptical that if a peace agreement is reached that it will last so again a lot of the talk here is about giving security guarantees to Ukraine but that’s also important you know if there was to be some kind of peace agreement to make sure that whatever was agreed became stable because around the world we often see examples where peace agreements are reached but they’re not implemented so how to implement them you know at a time when there’s very little th in international lawal okay well we’ll be watching very closely we do know that President Biden in just a few hours from now will be meeting with Ukrainian president vmer zalinski I’m sure we’ll get a lot more news coming out of that meeting and I really look forward to speaking to you again very soon thank you so much for joining us on WE the fear of a renewed Cold War looms large as the United States and Russia are engaging in some

but there’s no reason for nervousness or any alarm because we began to prepare for such a development a long time ago the aggressive course of the United States and the North Atlantic Alliance led by Washington is not changing but we cannot be intimidated we’ll find a response Russia has repeatedly expressed concern about the potential for NATO military infrastructure and troops to be stationed on

for T threatens to plunge Europe back into icy GP off a byon era the potential for miscalculation hangs heavy in the air buau report weon world is one all right we move further from a US intelligence officials have claimed to uncover a Russian plot to assassinate the CEO of a German arms manufacturer now the German arms firm has been Manufacturing ing artillery shells and military vehicles for Ukraine the report which was assessed it was accessed by the New York Times and CNN cited five unidentified us and Western officials for the information the intelligence official said the plot to assassinate Ram metal CEO Arman peper was averted as us shared timely inputs with Germany us officials further added that German officials German Security Services were able to protect the German Arms Company answering a question on the CNN report the outgoing NATO Secretary General Yen stoltenberg said that there had been a Russian campaign of hostile acts against NATO which had only led to allies stepping up support for Ukraine Yan stoltenberg was speaking at NATO Summit in Washington what I can say is that we have seen a pattern a Russian campaign organized by the security services uh to conduct hostile actions against NATO allies across the lines with sabotage attempts with cyber attacks with Aron with different types of of hostile actions against NATO allies and these are not Standalone incidents these are part of a pattern part of ongoing Russian campaign and the purpose of this campaign is of course to intimidate uh NATO allies from supporting Ukraine as per the report the plan to assassinate Ryan metol CEO was discovered earlier this year it also said that the plan to execute the CEO was part of Russia’s larger plans to Target defense industry Executives across Europe the report alleged that those European arms manufacturers who have been aiding Ukraine’s war effort were earmarked by Russia so as the war in Ukraine enters into a new phase the introduction of the F-16 fighter jets has sparked intense debate amongst many military strategists some have hailed it as a potential GameChanger now others are cautioning against the over estimating of its impact let’s in fact dellve into the complexities of this development and also its implications in the ongoing conflict f-16s for Ukraine are they a silver bullet or a false hope the arrival of F-16 fighter jets in Ukraine is a hard one victory for president selinski as his country battles the Relentless onslaught of a Russian air [Music] strike I can’t share the route of F16 when we see them in Ukrainian skies I think all the questions will be answered there are two moments of principle here first we promise that in summer of 2024 f-16s will be fighting in Ukrainian Skies This Promise is fulfilled but will these Jets be the GameChanger for Ukraine or simply another piece in a complex aerial chess board while the Roar of the f-16s will undoubtedly boost you Ukrainian air power these sophisticated war machines are not fail safe weapons the skies above Ukraine are about to witness a Clash of Titans the f-16s will face off against Russia’s formidable suco su27 su3 and S35 Fighters one of the primary advantages of the f-16s is its potential to enhance Ukraine’s ability to counter Russian air strikes with their advanc avionics and weapon systems these Fighters could potentially deter some of the devastating attacks on civilian infrastructure that have become a constant feature of Russia’s campaign however the effectiveness of the f-16s will be tested against Russia’s formidable suco fighter jets including the su27 su3 and Su 35 these Russian aircraft have proven their metal in various combat scenario iOS and their pilots boast extensive experience Russian media claims that specialized tactics have been developed to counter the F-16 suggesting a level of preparedness for this new threat bu report we are world is one for more on the story we are now being joined by Jane kinanm director of a policy and impact at the European leadership Network she’s joining us from Washington DC thank you so much for joining us on weon and welcome to the show it appears that NATO leaders are reaffirming their commitment to Ukraine with a promise of additional military aid as well as Weapons what are your thoughts on this and how do you see these developments well thank you very much for inviting me on I’m here at the NATO public forum which gathers about 600 experts to and listening to leaders who are popping in and out the summit next door and it is really interesting you know to hear the perception that that you are articulating that not enough is being done to prepare for peace and the perception that spending more on militaries is about preparing for war it seems slightly different standing here the way it is being articulated is very much natal countries thinking that they don’t have a choice a lots of people are saying the only language that Russia understands is power and they are arming to defend NATO territory rather than to attack but of course in this world where people in different places perceive things so differently it is very easy for one man’s defense to be perceived by another as preparing for aggression so I do agree that finding more communication channels is extremely important one of the things we have been talking about is the recent visit of Victor Orban to Moscow uh and how it makes no sense to leave these contacts to somebody that is going with one country’s agenda what are the ways to actually have a more constructive multi dialogue really the way it seems from here it’s about defense it’s not about attack very interesting and following up on uh your analysis do you think that NATO member states are prioritizing military aid over diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict well NATO is originally a military Alliance although it has political element it does have political meetings but at the end
