own playbook, boosting battle ready troops. numbers across its eastern flank and with plans to vastly increased. rapid reaction force numbers from 40002300000 troops by 2023. russia's deadly attack on a shopping mall in se ukraine. on monday for shadowed this summit until recently considered a nato partner, russia will, for the 1st time since the cold war officially be re designated an enemy threat. we meet in the midst of the most serious security guards says, so we have faced the since the 2nd world war president lensky appealed, as he does relentlessly at international events. football help time to do with him . i would not. he was the leaders present that russia's next move may be against one of them. and nato is determined to do what he can offering

a further package of non legal assistance. this defensive alliance, careful not to be seen to be joining the conflict. but we never wanted to have escalation with russia. all we want is to live in peace in europe. and therefore, we are making crystal clear that we are ready to defend our self and preparing all this talk so so for what we need. the summit began on a high note after an alms insecurity agreement was reached, allowing turkey to lift its objection to bids by sweden and finland to join the alons. so sweden and finland attend the summit as official invitees. their membership bids approved by 30 leaders to be ratified by national parliaments in the coming months. turkey said it got what it wanted will. so did nato able to project both the united and expanded front and gaining superiority over russia in the baltic region? president biden announcing and expanded us military presence in europe,

said the alliance had never been so galvanized a major shift to a state of readiness for whatever turns russian aggression may yet to take jona how al jazeera madrid or russian president vladimir putin says. moscow will respond to any nato deployments in sweden and finland. he was speaking of the summit in turkmenistan with leaders of 4 other caspian c. nations. are still going to see him soon and will not nip. there's nothing that might concern us in terms of finland and sweden becoming nighttime members, if they want to, please go ahead. but they should clearly understand that they didn't face any threats before the us. now, of nato troops and infrastructure are deployed, we will be compelled to respond and kind and create the same threats to the territory that is now creating rates for you. it's obvious what they don't understand that everything was going fine between us. but now there will be tensions. this is obvious and inevitable. i repeat, if they pose

a threat to us. well, robert hunter is a former us ambassador to native. he joins us from washington. d. c. thanks for joining us here on 0. your context of nato's lifespan. just how significant is this current us financial and military support? you think? well, that won't be determined by what has been john and madrid. the last 2 days is going to be determined by what happens in the future. not only are they promises increase military capacity, and a lot of other things they will, they will be doing what allies led by the united states and key european allies do right now for ukraine, the chest of nato. it not going to be in the future. it's going to be in the next few weeks, in fact, by whether there will be increased support for ukraine. and by what i read from all

of the documents is the answer is not much increased non lethal ed. what i supposed to do some more fighter grabbed by the united states in britain. what is that supposed to do? increasing over the future to $300000.00 in a rapid reaction force. what's that supposed to do for ukraine? the tester, the alliance right now. we're now and the future is whether the allies will follow what mixtures lensky are present. your grain is asking for and provide the weaponry that ukraine needs to stop what the russians are doing. and, and based on what we've heard, the last 2 days answer is not much. well, given what you say, i mean, you were us ambassador today in the mid ninety's. how do you assess it involvement over the years and where it is today that we tried under george

h. w bush beginning a 989 and following under president clinton to include russia in the future of european security rather than push it away. beginning about 1999. unfortunately, some people pushed the russians away, did a number of things, including 2008 by saying that ukraine and georgia will become members of nato. now there's a moment of commitment that was way beyond what any country, not just russia, but any other country could tolerate. it would be kind of like to rush and saying, we're going to have an alliance with mexico. how stating that his faith responded. and we continue to say that ever since this does not justify anything that is done, but it helps to explain it. and now having been caught in a situation where there is the 1st major war in europe since 945

leaving again side what happened in bosnia nato has no chores or credibility. yeah . not a straight shot at no charge for his credibility, not just in europe and elsewhere, to do what is necessary to stop russian progression. what we've heard last to today, just as i said before, the answer is not much that's in sufficient, in which case the nato summit will be seen. and lastly, things are done immediately will be seen as a failure and potential failure for nato or the long term system. critical moment. and nato did not stand up to it in the last 2 days in madrid, but in all likelihood, then how do you predict russia will withdraw from shatter killing hundreds of people. what the russians were saying is, this is a kind of thing we will do. either the united states in the laid and other hours, we'll send ukraine weaponry. now to intercept these then this,

these weapons to intercept the long range of artillery or we don't. if we don't rush, we'll continue to demonstrate that it is the job in a country in that war. it will continue to shows that the united states is afraid of escalation code is already one minute country in that war. it will continue to shows that the united states is afraid of escalation code is already one. what we call escalation dominance. it will continue to show that the allies are really too scared to take on the real security challenge today. what will other our say in the future if they are being pressed? by put not was tags, but try to attract, if united states has failed to stop russia doing what it is doing

now, other credibility will not be worth very much. this was a critical moment at nato. whatever's or the next few days will show next few days . we will show whether nato succeeded or whether as it looks now, nato is failing. ok, we'll leave it there. robert hunter, former us ambassador to nato. thanks for your insights. today, thank you for the russian attack on a residential building in southern ukraine has killed at least 4 people. this video released by a civil defense of shows awesome off of the setting. and if you've nikolai of search teams had to move power tools and ladders to rescue people trapped inside the book. rescue workers are continuing to comb to the rubble of a mall in the ukrainian city of crimean church. of the it was struck by russian missile monday. at least 18 people have been confirmed dead. 20 others are still missing. city authorities had declared 3 days of morning nadine baba has more
