the, the business day, the we news line from berlin, the u. s. will station long range weapons in germany. berlin and washington say that employment demonstrates their commitment to nato ends to european defense. russia says, and we'll consider a military response. nato says ukraine is on an irreversible path to membership a b, a lines as a flat, just additional supports and at least $40000000000.00 euros and fresh a key plus kenny as president william brutal dismisses almost his entire cabinet. that's in response to weeks of anti government protests, and the storming of parliament overtax rises

the uncle for at least welcome to the program. the united states will begin stationing long range missiles in germany, starting in 2026. washington and berlin say that employment cements their commitment to nato and european defense. the agreement includes tomahawk s, m 6, and hypersonic themselves. the weapons are nuclear capable and have a range of more than 2000 kilometers. and we're banned under a treaty with russia until the us withdrew from that 25 years ago. at the nato summit in washington, german chancellor or f shows welcome the us decision to station long range missiles in germany. so that's, i think it's also important the results of this meeting together with the decision

to organize coordination and responding in germany, which i think is really a better step forward altogether. i think it is the right time for right decisions . i believe that's another aspect which is important for me. the united states decided to deploy at the precision strike capabilities in germany, which i think is a very good decision. and it fits into all the decisions we already took to our brussels baron chief alexander phenomena joins. as from the nato summit in washington, alexandra schultz mentioned the city of the spot. and there, that's where nato will set up. a new command center. is this the spelling of your i'm taking on more responsibility within the alliance? yes, i think that it's definitely assigned that to your pins are willing and ready to take on more responsibility with the creation of this new native command and be spied. and also the fact steps need to,

as an alliance is ready to take on and leading role in called in a team, military assistance to ukraine and the training of the ukraine and soldiers as also a very significant and according to you installed them back. they nato secretary general. it is going to puts a military assistance to claim on his term for team and all of that is, of course, part of nato's plan to try and prove the alliance and it's age to ukraine. because many india lions here that donald trump should he be elected again, coach would use american or security role in europe and maybe even put in as to old military assistance to ukraine. so they are trying to get prepared for that. but the experts that i've been speaking with told me that a m u of so is not able to replace the u. s. and they are held for ukraine. and so

we will see how successful all those efforts will be. now, alexandra, is that the appointment of long range missiles in germany, and what is that going to look like, and how significant will it be for nato security architecture here in europe? well, nicole, i think that this is very significant for you. well, but also of course, any particular for gemini, because we are talking things you hear about the long range missile capabilities, including as you mentioned before, a tomahawk permit. so that can go over 2000 kilometers. i hypersonic me, so i'll and other modern weapons that will be deployed temporarily in germany in 2026, which is of course meant as a deterrent against any potential threats. also, of course, russia and we have seen that they have already reacted saying that this decision,

as a link in a chain of the course of escalation, a budget for germany. this is a guaranteed uh, added to terrence. and of course of this also, it's showing that the current administration is committed to nato and to protect the teen q a. p in territory the current administration. but come november could well see a change in the white house. is this something that could be undone by donald trump in his possible 2nd term? well, it's still not from is it like that? and then of course, as a commander in chief, he will make his own decision. and that is something that is not being the cost to you openly, but of course uh, behind the scenes allies are trying to prefer their contingency plans. and there are discussions going on, what it's a could mean for a the alliance a,

it's a donalds, trump gets elected again, ukraine gets money, at least 40000000000 euros. and weapons, of course, was everyone gathered in washington in favor of this new as package. well this package was approved long before this. um it stopped it. uh, but it's of course not an easy decision for allies. menu staff has to deal with budgetary restraints, especially in europe. and there is one member states that have member states that opted out of a military assistance. also, a financial assistance for ukraine is hungry. so uh uh, even though uh, the other elyse were able to move forward without them. uh it is showing you that not all of them are on the same page. alexandra phenomena in washington dc. thank
