the european union, statements were also made today within the framework of the meeting of ukraine nato, the councilof ukraine nato regarding reforms, there is no need to invent anything here either, so here i think that this, well, if the transition period, when we we understand that the war... i understand that there may be problems in society, including in tom, including in ukrainian society, despite the fact that military actions on the part of russia, they continue, disinformation campaigns continue, there is an external situation, and it is necessary to rebuild somehow, and especially to rebuild communication, that's why various statements, including those of bezugllui and other statements, i think they reflect not so much the real... things that exist in relationships, or in attitudes or in aspirations for real actions, and which are an element, well, more of an informational one, it seems to me, and i think that politicians, regardless of whether it is the government or the opposition, should still be more active from the point of view, well, not informational campaigns, and specific proposa

sit down with the ministers of foreign affairs, as you once pointed out, as equals in the ukraine nato council, and this perhaps the biggest difference between then and now is when we compare the former ukraine commission and today's ukraine nato council. bohdan, of course, the main attention was focused on ukraine today, however, the participants of the meeting also discussed other urgent issues. jen stoldenberg called sweden's full membership in the alliance the best christmas present for this year. what is the delay and how does it affect the issue of ukraine's membership? well, actually, this first of all shows how political is also the process of the country's accession to nato, to alliance, because when finland and sweden were invited to join nato last year, and when secretary general jens stoltenberg then said that he would make every effort to have sweden and finland join nato as soon as possible, everyone said as much as those countries were ready, militarily, economically, they were compatible in many ways with the allies, then no one could have predicted that among the members of th

ukrainian foreign minister dmytro koleba will join the first meeting of the ukraine-nato council todaythe level of top diplomats. at the meeting, as predicted by the media, in addition to discussions on ukraine's accession to the alliance, they should also discuss security guarantees for ukraine from nato members. details of this meeting and what are waiting, our correspondent in europe, zoryana stepanenko, will tell. starry good morning, tell me the details that are known as of now? greetings oleg, the headquarters of nato, as you can see, has already been flooded with journalists since the very morning, waiting for the ministers who are coming here at this very moment and here the first meeting of the top diplomats of the member countries of the alliance is taking place after the vilnius summit, a major event for the entire bloc. the ministers of foreign affairs and allied countries are summing up the results of the last meeting of the leaders and are now starting to prepare the future, the next already in washington, which will take place in 2024 , working out the possible solutions

in brussels today they tested the format of the ukraine nato council, this is the very maximum that the able to offer zelsky in as a consolation prize following the alliance's summer summit in vilnius, they discussed how they could achieve full interoperability with the ukrainian army. considering that the kiev regime is supported by western weapons, reconnaissance. due to the fact that all operations of the armed forces are planned at western headquarters or with the involvement of western advisers, it is unclear why they have not yet been operationally combined, although yes, it is working unsatisfactorily. ukraine continues to suffer heavy losses - this is a fact. i think that now we need to understand there is no there is no silver bullet, there is no weapon that in itself will change the situation on the battlefield. it is a question of many factors that could set the russians back. we must be prepared for a long and difficult struggle. kuleba, the minister of foreign affairs, was sent from kiev to brussels, he came so that everything that they need to exaggerate there, everything

this was announced following the first meeting of the nato ukraine council, which was held in brusselsdemands are the fight against corruption, support for human rights and minority rights. at the same time, ukraine. made it clear that in the near future you should not expect an invitation to join the military bloc, but kiev should prepare for long and difficult battles, who is ready to sponsor a protracted conflict, the chief of our berlin bureau, mikhail antonov, will tell you. in brussels today they tested the format of the ukraine nato council, this is the very maximum that the allies were able to offer zelsky as a consolation prize following the results of the alliance’s summer summit in vilnius, they discussed how they could achieve full interoperability with the ukrainian one. army. considering that the kiev regime relies on western weapons, intelligence communications indicate that all operations in the armed forces of ukraine are planned at western headquarters or with the involvement of western advisers, it is not clear why they have not yet quickly come together. although ye

beginning. and another important event took place the day before, this is a meeting of the ukraine-nato councild as a result of this meeting, ukraine agreed with its allies on a program to meet nato's requirements for further joining the alliance. against this background, the statement of the minister of foreign affairs sounds. of hungary, petera szijjártó, who says that hungary will never supply weapons to ukraine, according to him, hungary, budapest wants peace in the region, therefore refuses to supply military aid. well, here, one gets the impression of the incoherence of the alliance in general . pay attention, because this is a serious challenge for both structures and nato, the european union, because there is still consensus decision-making, so i believe that the european union and nato should revise the european union, the decision-making regime, so that one country or two countries cannot torpedo all members have a decision of the european union, all the more so, this is on the eve of... expansion, well, conditionally on the eve of the expansion of both nato and the european union, it

the format of the ukraine-nato council was tested in brussels today.rize following the alliance's summer summit in vilnius, they discussed how they could achieve full interoperability with the ukrainian army. considering that the kiev regime is supported by western weapons, intelligence communications, that all operations in the armed forces of ukraine are planned at western headquarters or that ukraine continues to suffer heavy losses - this is a fact, i think that now we must understand that there is no silver bullet, no some weapon, which in itself will change the situation on the battlefield, it is a matter of many factors that can push the russians back, we must be prepared for a long and difficult struggle , kuleba, the minister of foreign affairs, was sent from kiev to brussels, he came to ensure that everything you need to get out of the deadlock, there is no deadlock, kuleba says no , here... the ukrainian commander zaluzhny, in an interview with the economist, argued that there is a dead end at the front, he’s lying here, because zelsky and h

airplanes can change the course of the war in ukraine - nato secretary general jen stolteng said after the conclusion of the ukraine council. the f-16, of course. really makes a difference on the battlefield, they will strengthen, strengthen the ability of ukraine to destroy, inflict losses on, the russian usurpers, and also help to strengthen the pppo of ukraine, at the same time, we now have to understand that this is a... weak system that can immediately be a so-called silver bullet, which will be a game-changer, it is also important for all the different capabilities to work together. slovakia will extend the ban on the import of agricultural products from ukraine. this decision was made by the government of the country, except for wheat, corn, seeds, rapeseed oil, restrictions apply to honey, sugar, malt and soy. as noted in the ministry. of agriculture of slovakia, these measures are necessary due to the lack of a pan-european decision regarding ukrainian goods. let me remind you that in september the european commission canceled the ban on the import of agricultural products from ukraine to five neighboring countrie

needed in order to meet the membership criteria, this today was a very important event, as the ukraine nato council was actually created, a new mechanism that both sides, ukraine and nato, consider as a tool for their own approach to membership, it was about the areas that, let's say, are the most relevant now help us, further transformation, such a comprehensive aid package, the nato countries announced in order to meet not only our current needs, but also to build those defense forces that will restrain russia in the future, and the ukrainian government, unfortunately, i am in front of the ether looked, did not see that he published the document, the document was adopted, the adapted annual national program, this is actually such homework that ukraine undertakes, with, of course , the synchronization of what is expected of us by our... partners, roughly speaking, that we mother what we have to do and how we will be evaluated on our progress, to approach these standards , this is an extremely important thing, in fact, in 2008 we were not given the opportunity to get an action plan for membership,

said that they know about ukraine's plans for the 24th year, besides, at the meeting of the ukraine-nato councild in brussels, the alliance highly appreciated those reforms. which are already being implemented in ukraine, at the same time, he outlined new plans for reforms. kurt volker, who was on the air before you, says that during the war there are no questions, no problems for ukraine to be accepted into the north atlantic alliance, because this will be a marker and an indicator for putin that no one will let him go , and even if putin was there threatened nuclear war or nuclear missiles, no one would care. i will quote kurt walker. i am convinced that today's nato policy inadvertently sends a signal to putin: to continue hostilities, because we say that ukraine will become a member of the ongoing. perspective, but we cannot bring it to nato while the war continues. this is an incentive for putin to continue the war. i really think it's time for us to send the exact opposite message, that ukraine will become a member of nato as soon as possible. this will mean that there will be no way to lo

necessary reforms on the way to ukraine's membership in nato, and tomorrow, as i already did yesterday said, tomorrow there will be a meeting of the ukraine nato council, and the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, should even attend it, so we will see, well , i think that the most important thing is that they finally put an end to... in those conversations that ukraine is offered to join nato in parts territories, and which parts of the territories may someday somehow return, or may not return, let's say such signals were received , well, in fact, this illusion was dispelled in my opinion, well , jen soltenberg constantly talked about the fact that this is not even discussed, it's not what they said there in different countries, different people from the netherlands, the former head of andrmusen, the head of nato, still like that, well, they were just trying to earn some points for themselves from these conversations, because you know. that some part of society can perceive it and someone may have conducted it research, say, please tell us, they said, and they people recorded that there is no support, they think, well , let's not e

ukraine. nato's foreign minister's support for ukraine should be discussed in detail tomorrow as well, because before them ukrainian minister kuleba will join the meeting of the ukraine-nato council, this is the format, let me remind you, that was established in the summer at the summit in brussels, and in fact, this will be the first such meeting at the level of the ministers of foreign affairs, and they will talk, first of all, about the security guarantees that were outlined : back at the summit in vilnius, the french minister, arriving at the meeting, said today that paris will undertake a guarantee in three aspects, it is humanitarian, economic and military, as for the military, it is about the training of the military, provision of military equipment with priority, also for increasing production in ukraine itself and maintenance of equipment, well , actually regarding the state of coordination of these guarantees, and all the ministers will speak tomorrow, among other things. colleagues, thank you olena, olena abramovich from brussels. was with us on direct pressure with details regarding the meeting of foreign ministers of nato member countries. the president's office is s

minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, who took part in the meeting of the ukraine-nato councilsels, urged european partners to support this. in his opinion, the states that will be part of the european defense space should, in particular, develop a coordinated defense industry policy, according to the leader . of ukrainian diplomacy, this will allow europe not only... to support ukraine, but also to support its own defense capability. we must continue the struggle. ukraine is not going to retreat. our strategic goal - territorial integrity within the internationally recognized borders since 1991 remains unchanged, and nothing will stop us. here, the issue is not only the security of ukraine, but also the security of the entire euro-atlantic space. maksym not an international expert, joins our broadcast, we welcome you, mr. maksym. greetings, please tell me, this is such a new wording, a defense space in europe, a single one with ukraine, what is it about, what does the minister of foreign affairs actually invest in it? well, it is worth understanding, not an alternative nato, t

in addition, oleg rybachuk and i will talk about the meeting of the ukraine -nato council, today in brussels there was a big meeting of the ukrainian delegation with the ministers of foreign affairs of the member countries of the north atlantic alliance, and of course we will not miss the publication in zeaconomist, where they are talking about the fact that there are political misunderstandings between the civilian and military leadership of ukraine, whether these misunderstandings exist, if so, on what basis, we will talk about all this during the first hour of our broadcast, from 8 to 9 p.m., at 9:15 p.m., we will be joined by three of ukraine's best political scientists, olesya yakhnu, oleksiy holobuts, and volodymyr tsibulko. let's talk about how political life is going now, whether the political life of ukraine is going on, and why valery zaluzhny is now considered one of the competitors, political competitors in the struggle for power in ukraine, all this will be from 20 to 22 hours, so we have there is a big verdict and a big conversation ahead, but the big one... vasyl's evening of

brussels, the nato foreign ministers are holding a two-day meeting there, i will remind you, the ukraine nato councilrrow , the delegation from kyiv has already arrived, so, colleague, congratulations, please tell me will elaborate good evening, vyacheslav, everything is as you said, both today and tomorrow the days, in particular, regarding ukraine, are quite busy in brussels, and security guarantees from the eu and the european integration of ukraine and its path to nato, all this is being discussed here with partners by dmytro kuleba, who is accordingly visiting the belgian capital, and if we talk about concrete decisions, announcements that brought, today in particular brought, you mentioned one thing, this is one of the most successful missions of the eu, as the top diplomat of the association called it, it is expanding, instructors from the european union, who during the year trained more than 34 thousand ukrainian soldiers , will be able to familiarize more fighters with this science. and at the moment when the eu top diplomat received today the head of the ministry of foreign affairs of ukrai

refuse such negotiations, then it would be possible to initiate a meeting of the newly created ukraine-nato council, because this is not just a matter of food, it is a matter of national security and ukrainian weapons, but this is also not done, ms. elizaveta, please tell me, at the heart of this conflict, is it not even a conflict, it is just a blockade, a blockade of the western border, the border from which ukraine receives almost everything, because air transport does not work here, and our ports do not work, and we the only way out actually through the western border, including through poland. who and why, in your opinion, is abusing this and actually set up a blockade of ukraine, playing into the hands of the russian federation first of all, because it also affects our ability to receive humanitarian and military aid, fuel and lubricants are not imported from poland, and why not a harsh reaction of the ukrainian authorities or a well-articulated position. i will start with the last one, there is a reaction, it is 100% from ukraine, and we recently voted from our parliament a resolution to app

. >>> the ukraine nato council gets underway in brussels. ukrainian foreign minister tells cnbc what nations can do to ensure piece. >> the best way to avoid sending all soldiers into the war is to help other countries fight its own war and we never asked. i emphasize once again, ukraine never asked for u.s. boots on the ground. >>> and tributes for a titan. berkshire hathaway's charlie munger dies at the age of 99. >>> well, good morning again to "street signs," everybody. let's get caught up on how markets are faring. we did have another positive day with the s&p after some comments from federal rye serve officials, raising hopes that the fed is done raising. it could come in close to around march of next year. we saw a sharp pullback in the hang seng. what we're seeing in the stoxx 600 is a lot of green on the heat map behind me. we are focusing very much on the inflation data that's coming through. i'll get that in a second. generally the big theme is the inflation trends, the preliminary ones coming out of german states and the headline

the necessary reforms on the way to ukraine's membership in nato, and tomorrow, as i even said yesterday, tomorrow. there will be a meeting of the ukraine nato councilnister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, should even attend it, so we'll see, well, i think that the most important thing is that they finally put an end to those conversations that ukraine is being offered to join nato with parts of the territory, and which parts of the territory may or may not return someday, let's say such signals were coming, well, in fact, this one was dispelled in my opinion, yen soltenberg constantly talked about the fact that it is not even discussed, it is not, it was said there in different countries. former head andres pokrasmusen, the head of nato, they were just trying to score some points in these conversations, because they knew that some part society can perceive this and someone may have conducted research, say, tell us, please, they said, and they people recorded that there is no support, they think, but let's not even touch this topic, that's why ukraine should be in nato, it should be, will be in nato completely, that's how we proceed, t

against this background, today in brussels for the first time a meeting of the so-called nato council of ukraine general meeting, nato. let me remind you that the ukraine nato council is a surrogate that was created following the results of the vilnius nato summit in the summer of this year, as an incentive prize for the zelsky regime for refusing to invite him to nato with an open date. in general, within the framework of this meeting, following the results of this meeting, firstly, nato handed over to the kiev regime a list of demands that it must fulfill in order to bring this very invitation to nato closer, this is another surrogate and hypocrisy, because in fact, well, there won’t be any invitation anyway, it won’t depend on what ukraine will fulfill it or not, depending on the political decision that will be made or not made in washington, and also the council of ukraine. i adopted a final statement today, which states that the exchange rate is not changing at all, so let’s listen to what it says. the allies are unwavering in their commitment to continue to provide political and practical

an important stage is the establishment of the ukraine nato council, and as for joining the eu, yes, urprised if this happens much faster than with other countries. oh, how much verbiage, if it happens, it may not happen, i twist, twist, confuse and want, what kind of rhetoric is this novel, look at it. it’s called that, he’s a euro-demagogue, the main thing is that he does it, it’s so beautiful, ukraine will be there, but ukraine wants it, good tactics, i’ll go back to 16, there she was embarrassed, i liked it, there she was caught for what she promised, and can’t do it, but i think this is important, even then it was an interesting moment , she studied at an elite school, because it was not an easy school, her education was not easy, let’s look at a short commentary on this, for intellectual france there is a place in an elite national school. considered the highest award. the school has been attracting and training leaders for a long time, including former president hollando, jacques chirac identa, country leaders, maybe its curators are preparing for a higher position, what kind o

viewers of espress and i would really like it to be, but yesterday on the long-awaited ukraine nato ministerial council, when high-ranking nato officials come out to the briefing and say, yes, we know that ukraine has a military plan, refuting the nonsense of some people's deputies, it is of course very shameful for everything, and it seems that today we all have to do ... you know, stop, and do everything so that there is not a facade , there is real unity both in the government and between the military, military-political leadership, you know, it is not in vain that i ask about what is happening now in the ukrainian government, because literally for today, colleagues from tokyo called me twice from brussels, and a japanese journalist took my comment, and my colleague from brussels called and asked. what is happening in your ukraine and the questions both there and there, what just struck me was what is happening now between zaluzhny and zelsky, i was honestly very surprised by the set of questions from one journalist and another, but it honestly struck me that is now happening between the supreme com

is possible that sobering up occurred after yesterday’s first meeting in brussels of the nato council of ukraine an invitation to become a member of the alliance. ukrainian president, as they wrote then. western newspapers were due he was furious about this, he was rude to his partner all the time, the creation of the nato council of ukraine should have consoled him for a while , this is historical, as the ukrainian media called it, this is russia and definitely no one to you, now the truth is that people are more interested not in this, but in who will be sent to the front line next against his will, zelensky is delaying signing a law that will lower the age limit for men to be sent to the front, bloomberg writes, zelensky is faced with a personnel dilemma, the president fears that the adoption of this law could lead to escalation tension, it can also increase the mood of the world at any cost, it. the law has been on the presidential desk for a long time, patriots who have not yet realized this continue to be caught on the streets, and so dashingly escape from military registration and enlistm

of the heads of the nato countries from ukraine, but de -in fact, washington made it clear in advance that ukraine does not expect any specific decisions from the first nato councilrs against inflated expectations, the european media indicates that, once again confirming commitment assistance to kiev, however, the countries are faced with a practical problem and , in particular, the allocation of additional funding , if in the united states the budget is blocked by republicans, then in the european union, hungary, the day before the head of the ministry of foreign affairs of this country, petr szijjarto, in particular, said that quietly with caution countries admit that the situation on the battlefield is not developing as the west expected; the results, according to sijart, are more modest than everyone had hoped. the head of the ministry of latvia in response to this question noted that it’s all a matter of expectations, as for the head foreign diplomatic department of ukraine, then dmitry kuleba cut off the journalist who tried to ask this question, according to kuleba, the ukrainian armed forces are the strongest army in europe and now it is actually becoming

discussed with the foreign minister and first foreign minister's meeting we had of the new nato council with ukraine sitting at its place at the table. and nato's ongoing role in securing peace in the western balkans. when i started out in this line of work 30 years ago, front and center, our concern and the concerns of countries around the world, the balkans, bosnia and kosovo. the one thing we don't need is a return to the future when it comes to conflict and the balkans. nato has a role to play to help regions to e.u. membership and broaden european stability. nato has provided the security in the western balkans and will continue to do so. the alliance responded to actors who are trying to destabilize northern kosovo deploying additional force. and so this is another critical part of our conversation over the last two days. tonight i'm going to the ministerial council. despite of russia's violations, its efforts to obstruct the work, the 50 other participating states make sure that it fulfills its purpose to advance european security. and we head to israel, the west bank and u.a.e. where in addi

bohdan, state secretary blinken will also take part in the first meeting of the nato ukraine council. his deputy, james o'brien, called this meeting part of the process of finding ukraine's place in the alliance. bohdan, what is this platform and should we expect any specific decisions as a result of these discussions? well, read about this site, about the council of ukraine ukraine, we talked a lot when it was created at the summit in vilnius last summer, this is actually not a specific mandatory step in bringing ukraine closer to nato membership, but it is a platform where the parties can... cooperate more closely and approve the necessary decisions . thank you bohdan for your work. our european correspondent bohdan tsyupin followed the course of the nato meeting in brussels. he joined our studio from london. polish carriers on the border with ukraine continue their blockade. on november 27, they started a round-the-clock strike at another medic sheghini checkpoint. polish carriers insist on stopping. the so-called transport visa-free, with which, in their opinion, ukrainian transpo

brussels, as part of a ministerial meeting, nato is holding the first meeting of the so-called nato ukraine council recommendations that it must implement in order to bring its entry into nato closer. in fact, fulfillment, non-fulfillment of these recommendations will not change anything in terms of its entry into nato, it’s still a political decision that will not be made on this matter, but in order to create the appearance of ukraine moving closer to us. this means that the corresponding document was handed over, well, in general, the meeting of the ukraine-nato council, the meeting of the entire nato, says that despite the absence of any victories on the battlefield, nato is still following the same course, yen said this very clearly stolteng, listen, we have a responsibility to make sure that we give ukraine everything the weapons she needs, because if the president. wins, it will be a tragedy for the ukrainians. moreover, it will also pose a threat to us. our task now is to continue our support, we must stay the course. that is, there are no victories, anyway, so to speak, yes, we are stickin

with paranoia, it can easily be explained, in my opinion, there was a summit of ukraine, nato, the councilalm the client down a little, yes, zelensky expected everything, but he says, no, it’s difficult, that’s it the advice itself, yes, well, imagine, you are the head of a corporation, but you had a meeting of the board of directors, you need something, you must say that the whole world is in you simply, otherwise you are a bad leader, and jens comes out and says the absolutely opposite , that we will help as never before, wait for strengthening and so on, yes, then a couple of days pass, the topic is gone, forgotten in the media space until the next one, until the next council, ukraine, although the pilots. that is, as i described , they prepare irunia in holland from the end of spring here he is lying, yes, and that is, the saw turns out to be not boric, but such an informational informational one, then then ursula, yes , ursula already talked about this somewhere, and here it is written european defense agency translated into soviet this is the military-industrial commission of savmina

ukraine. russia has again, i quote, targeted civilian infrastructure, berbok said on the sidelines of the first meeting of the nato ukraine council. according to her , russia's shelling of ukraine's energy infrastructure, that year left millions of people without electricity and heating during the winter, and accordingly let us hope that the germans and our euro-atlantic friends in general will succeed in strengthening what is called our anti-aircraft defenses. well, by the way, ukrenergo has already reported that there is a possible shortage of energy due to the cold weather , we have many settlements where there is no light and, in principle, the level of electricity consumption is increasing rapidly, so we must understand that if they continue air attacks with rockets, missiles, etc the issue of any possible emergency shutdowns or planned shutdowns is most likely a matter of time , which will simply come sooner or later, so we must always be ready , we must be on the alert, well, on the other hand , no one knows how long, for example, maybe not to have electricity in one or another settlement . how targeted and how actively an

nato will continue to cooperate with ukraine, but there is no talk of joining the alliance yet, these are the results meeting of the nato councilof heads of foreign affairs, which takes place in brussels. secretary general will not change the situation on the battlefield. kiev needs to prepare for a long war. zelsky's office was also advised to fight corruption more diligently, only when all the conditions are met will it be possible to start talking about membership. to cheer up the ukrainian delegation, us secretary of state blinken assured that , according to his feelings, there were no signs of fatigue among the meeting participants. here's the head. he said that next year kyiv they are definitely not waiting in the alliance, abban tekintetben, hogy ukrajna felvétele a nato -ban, ukraine, the first is the threat of world war, the second is the systematic violation of the rights of minorities, then failures at the front deepen the split in the leadership of ukraine, the british magazine the economist writes about this, his ... a high-ranking source in kiev assessed the relationship between zelsky and zaluzhny as terrible, th

and so this is the first member of the nato ukraine council which is supposed to be nato and ukraine meeting as equals. obviously nato foreign ministers are trying to send a message here that despite what is happening in the middle east, despite the fact that ukraine has fallen out of the headlines for the past couple of months, they are still laser focused on doing this, but obviously ukraine is extremely worried. that is why you see the foreign minister saying today that europe cannot defend itself without ukraine, trying to reinforce the point that this also matters domestically within europe because they are worried, we've seen the far right leader in the netherlands win the most votes, we've seen slovakia's government worried about fatigue and that congress has now spent the best part of several months discussing ukraine aid with barely any progress. so i think that all eyes will be in particular on the u.s. and secretary of state antony blinken. >> and ukraine determined to push forward, but slow progress as ever. >> yeah, it has been a difficult few months. certainly the count

and this was the 1st foreign ministers meeting we've had of the name of the new nato ukraine council . would you find sitting at his place at the native table as we also discussed, plato's ongoing role in promoting peace and security in the western balkans. now, when i started out in this line of work 30 years ago, front and center in our concern and the concerns of countries around the world and certainly in the trans atlantic area, the walk ins, bosnia and then close at all. one thing we don't need is a return to the future when it comes to conflict. in the balkans, nato has a critical role to play and helping states in the region make progress on their paths. a to a membership and to broader your p. instability. nato as long provided the backbone of security in western balkans is going to continue to do so. the alliance responded decisively to actors who are seeking to destabilize northern kosovo as we saw earlier this year to find additional troops to k for. we're defining our collaboration with the lift force in bosnia herzegovina as well. so this was another critical part of ou
