and, and you have stoughton berg who's rent, randy on about that nato is, is necessary for him, but not. but the same time we go far as jumps and say that nato's ready for dialogue. i suppose as she's saying these big annual drills that been happening on the russian side, the judo and today supposed to be crucial to see what happens over the next 2448 hours, whether they do go back to their base or not. but so jen, so berg talk and tough forest. johnson said there's still time to talk. who do we believe? well, i think there is time to talk what moscow is as pushing and which the united states in particular, refuses to acknowledge and to uphold is compelling ukraine and to live up to it what it signed in terms of the mens one immense 2 agreements, number one but number 2, they, they made a when they became a nation state back in 1990. they pledged not alignment. not about nato, it's only belonging than they belong to nato. they put their constitution after the co occurred back in 2017. i think if, if ukraine can declare that it's that it's not aligned, i think that that will help to offs

and the next we hearing from stoughton berg, that this undermines settlement if it's in ukraine, and that this will be, or could be used as a pretext by moscow for an invasion. now all of this coming as we hearing from the latvian prime minister that beat rick admission is a continuation of the attack on ukraine's independence sovereignty and territorial integrity that began in 2014 by to quote, unlawfully changing borders in europe. or we hearing from the latvians is an urgent to the international community to stop quote russian aggression and offer assistance to ukraine. not latvia has also announced that it will be delivering javelin anti tank missiles to ukraine to be from tomorrow tuesday. at the same time, we are hearing from the ukrainian foreign ministry, they have said that the european union, andrew crane has reached a preliminary deal to conduct military training in ukraine at the same time that you will send inside the experts to ukraine. the e u. we know earlier approved a, an emergency package to the tune of 1200000000 euros in financial assistance for ukraine. not all
