- US President Joe Biden has opened NATO's 75th anniversary summit in Washington with a pledge of more air defense systems for Ukraine. He's offering Kyiv an additional Patriot system and says allies will provide dozens more anti-missile batteries. This as Biden seeks to reassure allies at home and abroad that he's up for the job of president. Doubts about his fitness for office continue to plague his re-election campaign. Biden's offer to boost Kyiv's defenses came a day after the deadliest spate of air strikes on Ukraine in months.
For more on this, we talk to Fabrice Pothier. He is CEO of the consultancy Rasmussen Global and a former Director of Policy Planning at NATO.
And we talk to DW's Nick Connolly is in Kyiv.

#NATO #Ukraine #Russia
Projecting weakness has encouraged Russia to be more aggressive. More weakness with inadequate assistance to enable decisive victory for Ukraine encourages more aggression and war crimes by Russia and other authoritarian governments NATO is still failing to deter and failing to react effectively to the consequences of that failure. Cowardice and apathy is leading to more suffering and more risks for the world.
NATO does not want a defeat of Russia or NATO fears Russia nuclear weapons.
Perhaps they are starting to understand that the people they represent don´t want to spend their money supporting a litlle boy that does not want to negociate???
Imagine the massive aftermath you're going to have to deal with
Id say much much larger that you think
Have the limitations been removed or not?
The US keeps saying one thing but doing another.
I would like to see how Orban was received on the summit
Maybe his plane had an 'accident"...
He was bullied by the cool kids and had to eat alone.
He should visit the children's hospital in Kiev, see what putins peace really looks like
Guy is 25 years in power! Truly “democratic” guy!
@@JeffBilkins not true, he has millions of europeans with him.
This is ridiculous. Everyone knows there are times when you have to fight back even though you would prefer that disputes could be solved by mutual agreement. We all know the consequences of not facing up to those who want to overpower us is subjugation, and that once our power, our agency, is lost, then we our self are lost. It is the same on the macro level and why the risk can be justified.
In other words we need leaders,not power hungry politicians.
The million dollar question. 😂 Nafo promised Ukraine "whatever it takes" 2yrs later still cant give Ukraine everything they need lmao, obviously they just using Ukraine as a tool to weaken Russia 😂
Genius. It only took 2 years to realize this, you say?
@@Mr.Clownensky I took Russia 2 years to admit it was a war and Not a Military Operation. Russia can just Stop and there would be Peace instantly.
@@MrObiWanKenobi96 Same apply if the Minsk agreement in 2014 would have being respected.
I absolutely know a very clear answer to the question in the title.
The answer: Stupidity
This header is bringing up a very good question...
It makes us realize that "peace" exists because there is a state of non-peace.
It may not be possible to realize true peace simply by advocating "peace" without realizing it.
Sadly , human nature. There’s always going to be someone,………

NATO leader's summit in Washington DC looks more like proper funeral, which actually it is, not 'major celebration' - just look at that ceremony with 'leaders' coming on the stage and background music - it resembles proper funeral
Odd seeing it's Russia that dying, both politically and the population
they should introduce a qualified majority decision to get on new members and also to throw out existing ones. that would lead to more discipline and coherence

DW can't stop inviting stakeholders and activists as "experts", without disclosing their agenda's. From Wikipedia:
"Rasmussen Global was founded in 2014 by the former Danish Prime Minister and NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen. / On 27 May 2016, Rasmussen became a non-staff advisor to President Petro Poroshenko of Ukraine and the firm worked on reform in Ukraine and its global positioning."
Wikipedia 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 those are your sources? 🤦 Let me change this article real quick..
Because that is what 8 billion ppl can do on Wikipedia.... 😂😂😂😂
What comes next? Prove from the Kreml? 😂
Inviting these fools as experts beats anyone's imagination.
I'm not convinced that's a conflict of interests rather than relevant experience.
Russia started this conflict in 2014 with the annexation of Crimea and support of armed separatists in the Donbas so those events predate any kind of involvement that could be seen as intent to stir conflict.
@@Cricrithezar Russia had every right to protect Russian population in Ukraine which was seriously threatened by the new extremist government in Kiev following the illegal Maidan regime change.
@@Cricrithezar Well, story changes accorting to the beginning. How's this one: NATO provoked the conflict with the declaration of Georgia and Ukraine joining NATO. That was Bukarest, 2008.
@dwnews the interviews in the early part of this segment were very poor. The questions contained the answers and were too leading. You can’t get a solid interview without letting the guest answer questions themselves. Honestly, I expect more.
DW narrative collapsing 🤡
nafo bots are afraid to join the front they dont want to see ukraine "winning"
Biden is bloodthirsty
Who wins a war been on a defensive stance. Giving Ukraine air defense means he is fit for president?
No it doesn't. Not even close.
Ukraine’s top negotiator, Davyd Arakhamia: Russia was “prepared to end the war if we agreed to... neutrality, and committed that we would not join NATO.”
But the US and UK stood in the way.
Any party is always willing to end a war on its own terms.
U can now read real agreement that was on the table that time, it’s was capitulation for Ukraine😢 we don’t want to be colonized again, we don’t want to have another genocide 😢

What part of $300 BILLION dollars of donations don't you understand ? Here's a clue. This is a proxy war. Ukraine has one role, and one only. Ukraine supplies the cannon fodder for NATO and it has done a good job so far. When the cannon fodder runs out, the donations run out.

Instead of arming Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan; US tax payer money should be spent on infrastructure, healthcare, education, homelessness etc.
And paying the people they owe in America.
@@PerceivedREALITY999 Good idea. I suggest you put that forward to Putin as most Russians don't even have indoor plumbing.
Can you elaborate in USD how much each citizen of the US had to pay so far for the conflict in Ukraine and did you compare that to the amount which have been returned trough jobs and arms sales?
- Is it more than 5$ a month p.P. ?
- Could it be that a complete fall of Ukraine and what would come next would cost the whole world way more than trying to stop Russia here and now?
- Why didn‘t Trump change the homeless situation in those 4 years and invested money into infrastructures?

Israel is not member of NATO. Palestinian supporters as Spain, Turkey and Ireland are NATO members. NATO is a defensive alliance, there is not a common policy in anything. Even Putin supporters, as Austria, Hungary and Slovakia.
That doesn't count! Only when the children are white is when they count, ask the Iraqis.
@@techcafe0 well, it's the West who keeps forcing the Global South to support NATO and Ukraine. You should tell the West that they sound like a broken record
look at the map of how NATO is deployed, from the military point of view of encirclement ...of Russian federation
its a military blockade and the same thing is happening in Asia. Originally it was formed to defend but over the years it has evolved to be a choice tool for intimidation if not outright aggression. This alliance is not just about war or protection, there's also the economic aspect where such an alliance can come in handy if you want to put a leash on or limit progress of other rising global powers that may unseat the status quo. This is not just about Russia and Ukraine there are other hidden agendas, the goal here is to weaken one then later go after the others and we all know who is next on the list.

Just what Obama said in 2015: Russia has "escalation superiority". No matter what is given to Ukraine, Russia can leap frog that capability. The only thing US has that Russia doesn't is an aircraft carrier; but even if we gave Zelensky a carrier, RU would destroy it in port
Lol, Russia can't leap frog any tech the US has. The Russian military has hardly advanced since the Cold War, except in drones. Russia is simply using its Cold War equipment, which it does have a lot of. The US is only giving Ukraine stocks of old things it no longer wants itself. There is very little advanced Western tech in this war.

@@delta_glider4362 When have Russian weapons actually outmatched US or other western weapons in Ukraine or elsewhere? Of course, some western equipment has been destroyed, no equipment is immune and that will happen in any war, but there is yet to be an example of western systems being directly outmatched by Russian systems. A few dozen destroyed 80's era Leopards or Bradleys means nothing when Ukraine is a T-55, T-64 and T-72 graveyard.
Russian electronic warfare is very good, but advanced western electronic warfare systems have not been deployed to Ukraine, so there is no direct comparison.
The west is not sending its best stuff other than small numbers of systems like Storm Shadow, ATACMS and PATRIOT, which have all proven to be highly successful.
