der leyen this morning to continue talks about the west response to russia's invasion of ukraine. the u.s. president will then head to pull into to witness the refugee crisis caused by the war firsthand. it comes after he -- yesterday in brussels that any use of chemical weapons by putin will trigger a response from nato. let's take a look at some of the key developments on the story this morning. president zelenskyy has accused the eu of moving too slow and imposing sanctions on russia as the former russian president -- reportedly said that is foolish to believe sanctions would affect the kremlin. the pentagon says russia is running out of position guided missiles and could turn to less accurate bombs and artillery as a result. president biden has said -- russia should be removed from the g20 group. he said the issue was discussed at yesterday's summit. a local official in -- as described the situation as a humanitarian catastrophe. accusing russia of targeting --

during a month long cease of the city. mark stone has our first report. >> president biden's motorcade arrived early at the nato headquarters for the first of the trio of summits. the u.s. president is so often said to be the leader of the free world. joe biden represented just that, leading a group of nations together, united against unprecedented russian aggression. around the table, they agreed to double troop numbers in eastern europe, to bolster nuclear, and chemical defenses. to provide ukraine with more weapons. via via video link from kyiv, ukraine's president has been -- this time with a precise list of weapons he says he needs. you can give us 1% of all your planes. 1% of all your tanks. just 1%. we can't just by that. such supplies depend on the political decisions from nato. >> the nato chief wouldn't be drawn on the details of weapons to ukraine, but was clear that

the alliance needs urgent needs to adapt to a new reality. he was blunt on the need to defend itself against the russian nuclear threat. our top military commander general -- has activated nato's chemical biological, nuclear defense -- >> a prospect which should be unthinkable, is now troublingly front and center. >> there is a visceral horror of the use of these weapons of mass destruction. i think that if putin were to engage in anything like that, the consequences would be very very severe. you have to have a bit of ambiguity about your response, but i think it would be catastrophic for him. >> ambiguity seems clearly to be the tactic, such is the jeopardy. >> we will respond, we will respond if he uses it. the nature of the responsible demand on the nature of the use. >> across down at the european

council, -- as the guest of the eu summit. these meetings do represent the most important series of diplomatic gatherings in decades. not since world war ii have things felt so -- perilous in this continent. and yet despite the unity, the resolve, the solidarity, and yet more sanctions, the troubling reality is that the hardship in ukraine continues, and the putter threats from russia, well, they are wearing the acute. >> as leaders, they have been forced to confront challenges not felt for quite a few generations. on their shoulders, rests huge decisions. such troubling calculations. mark stone, sky news, brussels. >> joining me now is skies ali fortescue, ali, good morning to you. by lateral and prime minister boris johnson not included. >> that is right.

so, biden will be meeting -- brussels today and i think what they want to do again is, show unity. yesterday he talked about nato being more united than ever before, we had that news that 40,000 troops being sent to nato's eastern flank for new battle groups. the opposite really of what president putin wants. but, the zelenskyy overnight has said that he has effectively criticized western allies for not going far enough on sanctions sooner. that could have avoided this crisis altogether, he suggested. that is probably what we will hear biden as -- talking about today. we have heard more sanctions announced in the last 24 hours, but we will be talking about how europe can reel its way off russian oil, its dependence on russian gas. that is something that is obviously going to be a huge challenge because it will be incredibly important if the sanctions are really going to --

talking about potential u.s. alternatives. that will be the big challenge for the eu moving forwards. i think the main priority today from europe, and from president biden will be able to once again show unity amongst western allies. >> ali fortescue, thank you so much. >> a month after the invasion began, there are signs that the ukrainian military is beginning counter -- presidents unlucky remains an office that russia has failed its initial objectives. our defense and security analyst michael clark has been assessing the reasons why the russian military might be struggling. >> vladimir putin was going for -- countries as big as ukraine. a whole month has passed, and a campaign -- was only plan to last a few days. this map shows russian gains over the past month. you can see some of the advances, but nowhere near what was expected. putin -- so where is russia gone wrong? my assessment of the beginning

of the war was that if putin does not win quickly, he does not win. i think that still holds true. the russians made the fatal mistake, they underestimated their opponents, believing they would be -- the russians deployed some of their elite voices first, they felt a hold their objectives and -- ukrainians have adopted more flexible formations, the classic battalion and brigade structures. >> the fact that the ukrainians are managed to kill someone in general things remarkable. it is not just due to phenomenal work by the ukrainians, it is due to the fact that the russians have communications problems. so, the generals have to go closer to the action in an order to see what is going on. i don't know any other war we are so many generals have been killed. >> in real warfare, logistics

are fundamental. -- and a lot of their quick mint has been obtain. they are told -- they not supplied for a long campaign and difficulty and resupply has left them caught -- this convoy of russian vehicles is a perfect example. in iraq in 2003, the u.s. dominated the airspace from the start. we expected to see the same here, but ukrainian jet and drones are still flying. they commanding control remains intact, russian forces are vulnerable to air attacks. so why isn't the russian air for doing better? >> somewhere in the region of about 80 to 100 flying hours per year. that compares to pretty badly in western counterparts. in the west we often get between 2 to 300 flying hours a year. >> if putin thought the west would remain a bystander, he was very wrong. sanctions and so many companies withdrawn from russia's punishing their economy severely. and the ukrainians are putting

through excellent used the weaponry supply to them by the west. these anti-tank missiles -- are just one of the examples. it has become clear that the ukrainians have good intelligence gathering. they are weaponizing the disillusionment of -- brothers in the russian military. but it will be wise to underestimate russia and this conflict, military organizations can learn to over lap and -- putin decides to take the war ford, as a battle of -- his military will do that. it means scenes like these and mariupol, or these in kyiv may be repeated. >> whoever tries to hinder us, and also to create threats to our country, our people, should know that russia's response will be immediate. it will be due to such consequences that you have never encountered in your history. >> putin will keep trying to frighten nato with statements like this. the strategy has been given

time to work. the longer the battle goes on, the more sanctions will hurt russia, and casualties will amount. that is why now that he -- was he loses. russia's forces might still do well and win a new variation of putin's war, but if, though you're still loses the piece. >> michael clark. now five years, ago -- where ordinary members of the british public, both -- arrested interim and imprisoned by the iranian government. last week after years of campaigning by their families, they finally returned home. the uk government repeated historical data 400 million pounds to iran. in his first television interview since it's released, -- spoke to -- >> this is the moment of freedom which took five years to land. for these two, and all of those around them, it was long overdue. -- back on safe soil.

>> how did that moment feel for you? >> when i think about it, now it is still difficult for me to grasp all of it. because, there are many times that -- about my kids. i used to wake up to the feeling of my coffin, we used to call, because the ceiling was about half a meter above our heads. i have been waking up to a ceiling which was just a few meters away from you. it was unbelievable. >> the end of a nightmare that began when this british iranian citizen was kidnapped from the streets of tehran in 2017. >> as i went down the road, and streets, some car pulled over and four men, i think it was, for they jumped out and said are you? and i said yes. >> one of them gave me a piece of paper, showed it to, me and said read it. it was written something like

anti-espionage. it was a court order. it's that i should be arrested. >> -- it was taken to a cell at the notorious prison, with no explanation or understanding of what was about to unfold. >> when did you sort of realize the enormity of what was going to happen? was it not like that in the moment? >> now you are just disoriented. you just don't know what is going on. i was taken to 2:29. i was taken to a cell. i was left there. i think a few days i was there without anyone seeing me. i don't know what is going on. >> was it as if you were living in hell? >> it was the valley of hell. because, in addition to your own suffering, you see the suffering of all the people who are around you. >> people like 66 year old british american -- temporarily released in the same day but soon sent back to
