many times throughout its history, estonia has come under oppressive russian or soviet rule. the countries politicians have learned their lessons from it. there is a very strong united position among politicians. now a mind which body you talk to, never again alone, never alone again. so that means that one is of course what we do ourselves, our defense i gave abilities are built great it very solidly, but for from the scratch during law 30 years. ah. but secondly, of course, this is why we value so much very close partnership. both we been e, u, and, and nato. but in a worse case scenario, these men want to be able to defend their country without any outside help to market peaks. team have been moving through the forests for 24 hours. now. they've been taking on one challenge after another and finding new positions. old while they hear distant gunfire. they take a little nap in the snow with only their sleeping bags for warmth. at night, temperatures fall below freezing arrival over a result. so at the moment it's very cold bowl. we managed to rest for half an hour under the

he joins me from tallying in estonia, constantino, the russian and u. s. presidents are reportedly willing to meet for talks on the escalating the crisis. do you believe a diplomatic solution is still possible? do you think that president putin wants that? i think that what present put once now is international attention and that he's guessing and secondly, he wants to continue to pressure. oh, the west to pressure. you cried. i think what marcia said from grammar doors is very relevant. hootin doesn't believe that to grain is a sovereign state, and that you gradient to have their own national interest at all. and i think that he still thinks the west can do something about. and in this respect one, there are that maybe you granules will have over this meeting with vitamin pollutant with the mediation of macross. i think that put ms. k to b officer. he knows the good cop bad cop routine that micro and biden. and i'm trying to play around with him and he is probably prepared. well then on the other hand, i think the last few days actually showed that he'

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's russia cruise 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 units to romania. france wants to send soldiers terramina as well. the netherlands is considering deploying fighter aircraft to war 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 its build up around ukraine, nato, strengthening its defense posture. according to secretary generals told him back the allian

in estonia, lard, fare lithuanian, poland. therefore battle groups 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 albin a ransom suggest, has galvanized the alliance brushes actions especially since 2014. have. i 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 advocacy 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 adult, but many members are increasing their economic and military aid for ukrai

and estonia now wants to send them on to ukraine. estonia, of course, being a nato member country and it had been pushing hard to send on these weapons. but for weeks the germans had resisted because in fact that prohibition that i mentioned applied to german manufactured weapons, no matter where they're stockpiled. so those will also now be set. melinda, i can see that the chancellor is about start speaking for we'll cross over right now. they get a president and instead of going to, you know, league and colleagues, smithville going to court compatriots, the few on sponsors to fit 24th of february 2022 marked a change in the history of a continent in attacking ukraine. the russian president, putin song launched and or of aggression cold bloodedly. for one reason, to heighten the stop, the freedom of ukraine and put it under its yoke. this goes against humanity. this goes against international law and there's nothing whatever that could justify this attack. quickly buddha was really terrible. images we have been seeing from kiev. i desa mattie or paul show the unscrupulous nurse of pu

in lithuania, the british lead contingent in estonia, so we don't feel a direct mil military threat, but certainly this is very destabilizing for the entire region. and it changes the military, a posture and we as natal them, are states need to but react. i think it's very important to strengthen nato's presence are all on the eastern flag that is from the baltic down to the black sea are but especially of course, also in the baltic countries. and this is where germany is playing. now, an important role. germany is made the decision to strengthen its presence in lithuania, which is very welcome news indeed. now in the discussion of trying to deter vladimir putin from take military action, there's a lot of focus on sanctions possible sanctions and node stream to is at the heart of that debate will have felt the german chancellor has refused to explicitly say that he would put sanctions on nod stream to what's your message to him on that? the message is very simple. everything has to be on the table for it to be a credible, deterrent, or put in house to understand that the sanctions co

the former president of estonia, kind enough to join us.rom all of this and as the president pointed out we just don't know what comes next. you've already heard about how our markets had a child week this week and you know how badly down they were at the beginning of the week the first two days and turned around to essentially even money on the week, that you know and our exposure to that you know. i do want to concentrate as i get into my next financial guest, what happened to the russian market? it zoomed back yesterday and a lot of of people are intrerpting -- interpreting that maybe we're through the worst of it, the russian market which had been down 37% on thursday made back 21% yesterday and i find that revealing because the ruble itself is in freefall at record lows, bounce back. if the stocks are bouncing back. is their market would end. and dan is here, ann, the chief investment officer. it's one thing what our markets did, i found is intriguing what russia's markets did. >> i think that's going to be just some volatility, neil,

in estonia, we're doubling the presence at tapa, the enhanced forward presence of tapa. in poland, we're adding -- where i'll be going shortly -- we're adding another 350 troops from 45 commando. we're doing air policing in romania, increasing the number of typhoons that we're deploying out of, out of cyprus, a squadron of typhoons, and we're sending ships to the eastern mediterranean and the black sea, an opv and a type 45. and that's, as i think, as jens referred to, we're also putting on standby 1000 troops in preparation for a humanitarian crisis that may take place on nato's eastern frontiers. so, we're getting ready a military -- we're making military preparations, we're getting ready economic sanctions, but we're also willing to talk, and i think, i think jens summed it up very well in what he said, you know, there are some things that are non-negotiable. that's the idea of a europe whole and free. that's the idea that nato must have an open door policy, that the people of ukraine must be able to aspire to nato membership. and then of course, there are things that
