on that plane ben wallace, two and half- plane ben wallace, two and half percent gdp on defence spendingk in 2010 pay the annexation of crimea and everything else, this would just not have even been considered, would it? not at all. it's this idea instead of being a deterrent for us, nato is a defensive force on the eastern flank and that shows the extent to which western europe feels under threat and those countries that share a border with russia or are very close to russia, particularly the baltic states and poland feel very much under threats, and this is a huge overhaul to protect those countries. in many ways, putin is the best thing that could've happened to those nato leaders who have always been saying that we are being complacent about the alliance that nato is fracturing. there is a new unity and a new resolve to invest in nato, but that is born of a very real fear that we need to have troops there who are able to act very quickly to defendant nato countries rather than just to deter russia from touching them. this would be considered an escalation from the kremlin and from ru

, the president meeting ben wallace, the british defence secretary and other british officials who havesee the warmth between the two men. mr wallace telling president zelensky is doing an amazing job to which zelensky says we are doing together. many people suggest britain has been instrumental in sending weapons to the country to fight russia's advance. mr zelensky is seen to reply it is the ukrainian people who are to be praised for their efforts. this was an unannounced visit but the latest sign that the british government want to show their solidarity. it comes shortly after these two britons were sentenced to death for apparently being mercenaries. that was the view of this court in the east of the country, the donbas region, a court which no country in the world acknowledges or recognises, apart from russia. this is a case as we have been hearing that has international dimensions to it. the russian foreign ministry saying today that britain is response in these kind of cases is hysterical. we have just been hearing from the ukrainian ambassador to the uk that negotiations are und

i gather that the british defence secretary, and we are just hearing this, ben wallace, is on an annexnian officials from your government, including president zelensky. you are saying britain has been helping, one of the country is at the forefront of helping. what more help specifically from the uk would you like, what kind of shopping list, if you like, read ben wallace be getting from president zelensky? i can imagine this picture, they are sitting around a table, on top of this shopping list, the artillery which we mentioned. that is very important. to allow ukrainian ports to get out to markets. we are responsible for 100 million to fade around the globe. how we are unblocking this, get this on the markets. allow us to fade these people, second, ukraine can earn its living, to support ourselves, our economy, and we can put new harvests in. russians are stealing some of them. we want somebody else, nato, turkey, i don't know, a custodian of the black sea street. allowing us to resolve it. for example, when we open up the ports only commercial vessels, not russian submarines and nuc

ben wallace is the author of possibly the best rebuttal of b. s a from july last year in which he mixed up all the mis so far is so good idea. ology to claim that ukraine was not a real country. so he's the man of great abilities and i'm told he rated himself. i doubt he is. he's, he's just speaking to the wind. so if you're saying this, i hope he's right. but given the situation on the ground at the moment, you see any way that russia is going to allow itself to get pushed out of the dunbar after all, they've been there in one form or another fermenting a war for the last 8 years. haven't by yes, but not in the same places they were the line of contact further to the rece. but remember, the very limited gains that they've made in the dunbar have been purchased at a huge expense in mercury and the blood. so the ukrainians are fighting a very intelligent war, not giving the russians a set piece battle which they might lose, but just imposing a huge cost on them. as you know, if the ukraine estimates the russian losses anywhere near correct, you k

changing and our assistance to ukraine was announced by the head of the british ministry of defense ben wallace, sergey lavrov answered him. , but also the deeper regions of the russian federation, and if all this chatter, about the fact that zelensky promised you something, but will be taken seriously then, as in ukraine itself, politicians are deputies. they just laugh at the americans who said, we believe in zelensky. he promised us not to shoot at russia, if this is all from the side of the united states and their satellites, but is a reaction to what is happening, i will emphasize again. the more long-range the systems supplied to the kiev regime, the further we will move the nazis away from the line from which the threats to the russian population of ukraine and the russian federation come from. well, however, far from all the weapons supplied by the west reach the field, a lot of the battle is sent straight to the black market and ukrainian officers and officials do this about it. here writes the canadian newspaper toronto star, in the darknet there are already advertisements for the sal

defense secretary ben wallace said last week that nato should plan for a land war with russia. not that he wishes at that to take place but the best way to prevent it is to be ready in addition to the russians at that nato is indeed ready to defend its member states. so, all of that is underway. it also comes on the back of strong rhetoric coming out of the g7 summit, in which of the leaders of the seven countries felt committed to ukraine's future and national self-determination, free of russian aggression. and it comes on the back of the eu summit last week, which extended the prospect of membership to ukraine and moldova. so they are not candidates for e.u. membership. these are important steps for things that had been unthinkable only a few months ago without the russian aggression happening. host: let's invite the audience. if you want to call and ask questions about the nato summit, you can call us, republicans at 202-748-8001. democrats, 202-748-8000. independents, 202-748-8002. or you can text us at 202-748-8003. the upgrades for nato, and few are looking for if vladimi

statements about toxic the topic of masculinity was continued by the head of the ministry of defense ben wallace, he not only made a sharp and effusion against vladimir putin, but also suddenly tried to prick the official representative of the russian midafix. i think the main problem is that the russian authorities consider some countries less important than others and try to write themselves into history through violence, you know. there's a woman there, an official spokesperson for the foreign ministry, she holds a briefing every week, threatens all nuclear weapons or something, she's definitely a woman in the kremlin reacted to boris johnson's statement with iro. and with regard to wallis, they noted that the rudeness of the minister of defense casts a shadow on the uk on smolenskaya square, they wondered. why is the british government so gender related to sex british minister, wallace if you don't want to be known as a complete liar to the whole world? give at least one example of how i weekly threaten to throw nuclear bombs at everyone, given that you will not find a single quote, i immedi

course, and i think ultimately there are talks and people who have military backgrounds in the uk, ben wallace's on this and there needs to be more money put into it and as if touched on, the fact that we have seen the defence budget cut and the threat of information now, it means that we are seeing reversals on those types of things that are on those budgets. president biden has admitted that all of this action that's been taken in supporting ukraine is going to hurt the us economy. and it's whether, whether the us are everywhere particularly in our lives, whether or not they can continue to support and back the leaders were trying to take this action, unified action against russia. , ., ., action, unified action against russia. , . ., , russia. yes, and we heard murmurings from scotland — russia. yes, and we heard murmurings from scotland and _ russia. yes, and we heard murmurings from scotland and from _ russia. yes, and we heard murmurings from scotland and from whales - russia. yes, and we heard murmurings from scotland and from whales and - from scotland and from whales and those who contr
