a great deal of those nato countries individually have supplied weaponry to the ukrainians, but also they boasted their own defenses, those countries that are closest to russia. one of the things they going to be discussing at this meeting is making some of those changes more permanent. this is what the nato secretary general had to say. also, address them or long term consequences. long term other taishan, our alliance. how to further strengthen our, the terms of the fence and to remove any room for miscalculation or misunderstanding must go about our in this to protect them, defend all allies. and nato has the responsibility to ensure that this crisis do not escalate beyond ukraine. and that's also reason why we have increase the presence in houston pot reliance. so some of the things they're likely to discuss to recent incursions by drones into nato territory that attack in ukraine,

under the auspices of the organization for security and cooperation in europe. general's, we believe held video conference meetings. the russians politely declined, since i know, ah, the offer of further invitations to attend this event. have been, as you can imagine, declined a little bit more firmly. the russians saying that if they want to know anything about nato, they're happy to find out themselves. there has been a show solidarity for ukraine's president from 3 of his closest european neighbors, the prime minister as a poland, sylvania and the czech republic travel to keep on tuesday. they are the 1st foreign leaders to visit ukraine since the war began. taking a train journey from poland to me president zalinski. the european union has still gives very quickly a candidate status. and more than this has to invite your grain to the european union and all that the fancy work to defend your homes. we will drive to
