as joined with the u.k. and the e.u. in blaming russia for a recent wave of cyber attacks. the smiles and friendly handshakes at the start of nato summit of defense ministers were overshadowed by the news of a possible cyber attack by russian agents in the netherlands. nato allies expressed their solidarity with the decision by the dutch and the british governments to call out russia on its plate and attempt to undermine international law and international institutions dutch authorities announced today they had foiled a cyber attack on the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons the dutch defense ministry said it expelled for russian nationals after they were caught spying at the chemical weapons watchdog but the defense ministers had other things to talk about as well national defense budgets were on the agenda with the us still pushing for other members to up their military spending but the term was less strident than recently as spending has gone up it is clear we are making

progress this will be the fourth consecutive year of rising the fans spending but we still have a long way to go nato is investing and he's keen to show the world what it's doing with that money soon it will hold its biggest military maneuvers since the end of the cold war in no way close to the russian border. for more let's now bring in data correspondent band hike at the bank the second day of the nato summit but it's overshadowed by accusations against russia and it's not only from the dutch as it. the old nato defense ministers tried to present a united front against the former cold war for russia and especially the british had fresh allegations the british minister said russia is acting like a pariah state this is very strong language rarely used here at nato and so it shows that there is anger and frustration among the nato members with

russia because these allegations are not new this is a string of actions russia that is outraging the nato allies and they also the british also say that russia is working with international hecho organizations and this is an orchestration attempt to undermine western democracies and international organizations so with the accusations and counter-accusations flying around if they'd like there's not much room for dialogue how do you see this playing out but the diplomatic relations between russia and the nato members have soured over the last year is the recent years and they are at a very low point it's hard to imagine how they can get any lower if the poisoning the poisoning of russian spy in great britain in march diplomats very exposed intelligence officers they expelled on both sides so there's

not much much left what can be done although the american minister of defense mr met has said that russia has to pay a prize they can of course you know in install more sanctions against russia but the military side there's not much to do although nato regards this action as military aggression against the airlines now banned we're seeing that it appears there is a massive coordinated intelligence operation between nato members here can you tell us well. but in recent years no need to try to beef up its n.t. cyber defense capabilities this is send in the baltics which is dealing with that and nato is about to establish an operational center for cyber defense that means that they will be not only able to defend themselves but only but also to have counter. measures against russia so to say to
