it all day for you here on the w. u. s. reinforcements have begun arriving in europe as fees increase of rushes. troops build up on ukraine's borders. the 1st contingent of 2000 and additional american soldiers arrived near frankfort overnight with others, touching down the poland border with ukraine. the white house, as though protect easton, nato members from potential russian aggression. the kremlin says the learning strain tensions in the region. the w's, alexander phenomena explains what's behind the u. s. decision. american f. 15 fighter jets arriving in estonia. a danish frigate deployed to support nato in the baltic sea. more and more allies are sending troops to eastern europe. it's not a choice, it's the masters as security expert, bruno, latino, and berlin. nato has to prepare for every possible military scenario. it

is not unrealistic. for instance, to think that russia couldn't parades a border incidence with estonia to distract attention from an invasion in ukraine. to be prepared. the u. s. alone is sending 1700 troops to poland and a 1000 strong unions to romania. france wants to send soldiers terramina as well. the netherlands is considering deploying fighter aircraft to wil guerria. so too is spain. while the u. k made its patch troops to estonia and danish fighter jets have already arrived in lithuania, compared to russia's nato presence in the region is still relatively small. but as the kremlin continues, it's build up around ukraine, nato, strengthening its defense posture. according to secretary generals tolten back, the alliance is even considering deploying new battle groups, in addition to the 4 multinational battalions already in place. in estonia, latvia, lithuania and poland. the for battle groves were deployed in response to russia's

annexation of crimea in 2014 natal members argued then that they cannot ignore russia, breaking international rules and undermining peace and stability. and now nato is confronted again with what they describe as aggressive behavior and its members are responding with reinforcements. putin's goal was to have fewer nato troops close to russia's border, but so far he has produced the exact opposite. the current crisis policy analyst al dinner ransom suggest has galvanized the alliance brushes actions, especially since 2014 have a given nato, a new impetus for it, for its core mission, for which it was established to secure europe, to deter others from invading or ab ashley,

destroying the security order in europe. and yet, that doesn't mean nato will send combat forces to ukraine if prudent decides to strike. in fact, the alliance has already ruled it out, but many members are increasing their economic and military aid for ukraine, with the u. k and poland, promising a new security pack. it is unlikely that the arrangement will be something like nato ish. where do you k and poland would have a duty to defense ukraine. i think what we will see is corporation in terms of military training, financing, making sure ukraine has a military means also to defend itself. according to nato, it is all about defending its members. that is the reason for the reinforcements. the alliance says russia denounces them as hysteric and destructive. both sides, however, say they are open to more talks. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making world news. us vice president,
