NATO supports Ukraine and continues to deepen a partnership built through more than three decades of cooperation with NATO Allies. Allies are supporting Ukraine's ability to defend itself against Russia's aggression, including through unprecedented military assistance. This partnership strengthens Ukraine's security and contributes to a stronger Alliance.Russia's full-scale war of aggression has highlighted the realities of modern conflict and the speed at which forces must adapt, from rapid decision-making and resilience to secure connectivity across land, sea, air, cyber, and space. It reinforces why NATO must keep transforming for tomorrow's security environment, strengthening deterrence and defence while continuing to stand with Ukraine in its existential struggle.In this episode of Transformation Brief, Colonel Valerii Vyshnivskyi, Senior Ukrainian Representative at the NATO-Ukraine Joint Analysis, Training and Education Centre, shares how Ukraine's battlefield experience is shaping NATO's thinking, with adaptation speed, interoperability, and civil-military innovation proving decisive in modern war.

Day 1,429.Today, as President Trump prompts further outrage with his claim NATO troops “avoided the frontline” in Afghanistan, we consider whether President Zelensky was right to call out Europe in his speech at Davos ahead of the first trilateral talks of the war. Then we ponder whether the Greenland saga can be put to bed, or if it's truly indicative of a historic shift, before returning to the topic of resilience with the second half of our interview with former British army officer Ash Alexander-Cooper.ContributorsFrancis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.With thanks to Ash Alexander-Cooper OBE (former British army officer and author). @ashalexcooper on X.SIGN UP TO THE ‘UKRAINE: THE LATEST' WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter Each week, Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley answer your questions, provide recommended reading, and give exclusive analysis and behind-the-scenes insights – plus maps of the frontlines and diagrams of weapons to complement our daily reporting.

Sir Keir Starmer says President Trump's comments that NATO troops stayed 'a little off' the front lines in Afghanistan are 'insulting, and frankly appalling'. The US President told Fox News last night that he wasn't sure if NATO would be there for his country if required, and that America had 'never needed' its help. Also: Russia, Ukraine and the United States are holding their first tri-lateral talks, since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine four years ago. And, the pop star Robbie Williams has surpassed The Beatles to become the artist with the most number one albums in UK chart history.

President Trump sent mixed signals on his threats to take over Greenland ahead of meetings with European allies in Davos this week. After inflammatory messages were posted online, Trump seemed to signal a deal could be reached. It comes as European leaders are pushing back against the president's new tariff threats.

President Trump refuses to rule out invading Greenland following revelations that his aggression towards the self-governing territory is a response to being denied the Nobel Peace Prize by Norway. We are now facing the very real possibility that the US will attack a NATO ally, putting everyone in a unique and untenable situation. Should the EU send troops to Greenland? As both a NATO member and a US neighbour Canada is faced with a serious dilemma. Andrew argues that we have to be an ally, and that means drawing a land in the snow and showing up for Greenland. It is now clear that NATO is hanging by a thread. What will be its successor? And what should we make of Trump's new 'Board of Peace' which critics believe is his attempt to undermine the United Nations?

President Trump says he will, "100%" follow through on his threats to impose tariffs if a deal over Greenland is not reached, and responded "no comment" on Monday when asked whether he would use force to seize the island. Even if Trump's attempt to control Greenland goes no further, has trust between the United States and its Nato allies been damaged beyond repair?

President Donald Trump's tariff threats over Greenland have strained relations with America's key NATO allies. European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, criticized Trump's approach on Tuesday, warning of potential retaliation. A worsening lack of accessible public washrooms in Vancouver is fueling growing frustration among residents and businesses, and in some cases, driving people to leave the city altogether.

Trump is escalating his efforts to take Greenland. If he's not allowed to buy the country, he will impose tariffs on multiple European countries. Denmark, France and the UK issued a joint statement against Trump's tactics.

Since joining the Alliance in 2009, Croatia has been a valued member of NATO. It contributes significantly to our collective security – not only on our eastern flank and in the Western Balkans, but across the entire Alliance. Just before the holidays, I met Croatian troops in Poland, as part of NATO's Forward Land Forces in Bemowo Piskie. It was inspiring to meet so many servicemen and women spending Christmas away from their families – standing watch, keeping us all safe. Croatia also contributes personnel to our Forward Land Forces in Bulgaria and Hungary. And I welcome your efforts to modernise the capabilities of the Croatian Armed Forces, and the way Croatia's defence industry indeed is stepping up – particularly in driving innovation in the field of uncrewed systems. I am looking forward to the meeting, and you already announced it, this afternoon, with representatives from the defence industry. And I was really impressed this morning to see how you have revamped Croatia's Air Force in just a couple of years. You are already spending more than 2% of GDP on defence, and are working to reach the 5% benchmark by 2035, as all Allies agreed at the Summit in The Hague. I also welcome that, as of the 1st of January this year, the Croatian Air Force officially assumed full responsibility for protecting Croatian airspace. Croatia is also making good on the commitment Allies made to sustain our unwavering support for Ukraine. Since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, Croatia has been a strong and reliable supporter of Ukraine. In addition to your recent 15 million euro contribution to indeed, you already mentioned it, the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List – PURL – Croatia has provided now over 300 million euros in military aid since 2022. You have supplied helicopters, transport aircraft, artillery systems, ammunition, protective equipment, and much more. Russia's brutal war of aggression continues. And we saw just last week, the use of the Oreshnik missile on Lviv and continued attacks on civilian and energy infrastructure. Russia is trying to deter us from supporting Ukraine, but we will not be deterred. As Ukraine faces immense pressure during the harsh winter, your support, and support of all NATO Allies, is more important than ever. Ukraine's security is our security. And under your leadership, Prime Minister Plenković, Croatia has truly been a vital partner to our Ukrainian friends. Croatia also plays an important role in sustaining stability in the Western Balkans. You are a longstanding contributor to KFOR, with more than 150 troops on the ground in Kosovo. The Western Balkans remain high on NATO's agenda, and our commitment to the region's stability is steadfast. With your support, we will not allow a security vacuum to emerge, and NATO will continue to strengthen political dialogue and practical cooperation across the region. Prime Minister Plenković, dear Andrej, Thank you for your warm hospitality, and again, for Croatia's steadfast support to our Alliance, and everything we collectively stand for. Thank you. https://bit.ly/NATOhomepage SECURITY COUNCIL  I want to flag that our esteemed colleagues in the Security Council Branch released online the 2025 Highlights of Security Council Practice.  The Highlights Paper features insights into the work of the Security Council in 2025, particularly regarding meetings and other activities (including missions to the field) the agenda items and topics dealt with, decision-making and the work of its subsidiary bodies.  It's a fantastic trove of date for all of you Security Council afficionados!  SECURITY COUNCIL/UKRAINE   This afternoon, at 3:00 p.m., the Security Council will hold a briefing on Maintenance of peace and security of Ukraine, and our Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, Rosemary DiCarlo will brief Council members. She is expected to underscore that the new year has brought no peace or even respite to Ukraine, but renewed fighting and devastation. Ms. DiCarlo is expected to note the recent use of the so-called Oreshnik missile, the second time the potentially devastating weapon has been fired at Ukraine since 2024.   Ramesh Rajasingham, OCHA's Director of the Coordination Division, will also brief and is expected to warn Council members about the impacts of the attacks on civilians, especially as the strikes impact energy facilities, cutting off power and heating for people enduring freezing temperatures.  UKRAINE  From Ukraine, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says that over the weekend and the early hours of today, several civilians were killed and injured in the capital Kyiv and in the regions of Chernihiv, Donetsk, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Kherson, Kyiv, Odesa and Zaporizhzhia. This is according to authorities. Two health workers were reportedly injured in the Chernihiv region when their ambulance came under attack while on a call in a border community. As the weather conditions deteriorate, hundreds of thousands of households were left without electricity and heating across the country leaving entire communities without electricity and heating, with overnight temperatures down to nearly –20°C.  In Kyiv, repairs continue to restore critical electricity and heating services.        The water supply has been fully restored, while 1,000 multi-story apartment blocks have been without heating since January 9th, and parts of the city have electricity only for several hours per day, according to the city's mayor.  Complementing the work of utility companies and national rescuers, aid workers provided hot meals, water and psychological aid and deployed mobile warming centres where impacted people can warm up, charge their devices and receive essential support.   Turning to front-line areas, on 9 January, an inter-agency convoy delivered medicine, hygiene, shelter materials and solar lamps to the Sviatohirsk community, one of the hardest hit areas in the Donetsk region, where humanitarian access remains limited due to security concerns.                  Tomorrow, we, along with our humanitarian partners, will launch a prioritized Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan for 2026, calling for continued solidarity with the most vulnerable war-affected people in Ukraine.   Full highlights: https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/noon...Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/policy-and-rights--3339563/support.

This weekend, US President Donald Trump once again made waves in Brussels with a post on his social media platform, Truth Social. In what he described as a “letter to NATO nations,” Trump demanded that every member state stop buying Russian oil and gas. His message was blunt, as long as countries like Hungary, Slovakia, and even non-EU NATO ally Turkey continue to purchase Russian energy, the United States won't move forward with its own sanctions against Moscow. Is this wishful thinking or the key to the EU's 19th sanction package against Russia?Join us on our journey through the events that shape the European continent and the European Union.Production: By Europod, in co production with Sphera Network.Follow us on:LinkedInInstagram Hosted on Acast.

Jeff speaks with our defence columnist, Ken Hansen.

Story #1: Former Navy SEAL Mitch Aguiar joins Will to recount the most challenging New York City Navy SEAL Swim yet. From battling brutal currents around the Statue of Liberty to swimmers getting pinned under a barge, Mitch explains how instinct, training, and teamwork kept the day from turning tragic. And just when the swim ended, Mitch found himself controlling a knife-wielding party crasher, proving danger didn't end with the swim. Story #2: The Host of 'The Officer Tatum Show,' Brandon Tatum, sits down with Will to discuss President Donald Trump's high-stakes meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin and European leaders: could it actually deliver peace in Ukraine? They also break down the shocking case of an illegal immigrant semi truck driver making a deadly U-turn in an 18-wheeler, and the broader failures of America's immigration system. Story #3: Will welcomes in longtime Willitia member Brent Suriano, who joined this year's SEAL Swim as a civilian patriot returning for his second year. Brent shares what it was like to be caught in the Hudson's unforgiving currents, how his family's military history inspired him to dive in, and why this event is more than a test of endurance, it's a tribute to fallen heroes and a reminder of what binds the Willitia together.

President Trump got another win at the NATO summit, as NATO allies pledge 5% annual increase in defense spending by 2035. NATO Chief Mark Rutte called President Trump "daddy" after he rebuked Israel and Iran for breaking the ceasefire.

In this bulletin, NATO countries confirm they'll hike defence spending; Australia agrees to send humanitarian troops to Europe in support of Ukraine; The Matildas prepare to take on Slovenia in Perth tonight.

While the military situation in Ukraine continues apace, with grinding Russian assaults gaining ground daily, but at a reduced pace and increasing rate of casualties, the diplomatic situation is changing rapidly. A flurry of US diplomatic activity aimed at ending the war has unnerved Ukrainians and America's allies, who fear the US is preparing to cut a deal with Russia over their heads. This activity includes a bilateral meeting between the US and Russia in Saudi Arabia that excluded America's NATO Allies and Ukraine itself, a series of confusing and contradictory statements from US officials, and an escalating war of words between the US and Ukrainian presidents. To help us make sense of both the military and political situations, Konrad Muzyka, who recently returned from Ukraine, joins Bob Hamilton on this episode of Chain Reaction.For more military analysis of the Russian invasion of Ukraine check out Konrad's Ukraine Conflict Monitor.This episode was recorded on February 20, 2025.

On the GZERO World Podcast, we're bringing you two starkly different views on Ukraine's future and European security. First, Ian Bremmer speaks with Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braže about the growing security threats facing the Baltics—from cyberattacks and disinformation to undersea sabotage in the Baltic Sea. When an oil tanker linked to Russia's shadow fleet recently severed a vital power cable between Estonia and Finland, it was a stark reminder of how hybrid warfare is playing out beyond the battlefield. Braže warns that Putin's ambitions extend far beyond Ukraine, aiming to weaken US alliances and destabilize Europe. She also pushes back against claims that Ukraine's NATO ambitions provoked the war, calling them “complete nonsense,” and outlines why Latvia is boosting its defense spending to 5% of GDP.The conversation then shifts to Moscow, where Bremmer speaks with former Russian colonel and ex-Carnegie Moscow Center director Dmitri Trenin. Once considered a pro-Western voice, Trenin's views now align closely with the Kremlin. He argues that the fate of Ukraine should be decided primarily by Russia and the United States—not Ukraine or Europe.Host: Ian BremmerGuest: Baiba Braže & Dmitri Trenin Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.

Three years into the invasion of Ukraine, and amid the Trump administration's rapid shift in US-Russia relations, can European and NATO allies continue to rely on the United States for support? On the GZERO World Podcast, Ian Bremmer is on the ground in Germany on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference for a hard look at the future of European security with US Senator Elissa Slotkin. World leaders and diplomats gathered at the annual conference to discuss global security challenges, but the biggest story, by far, in Munich was the news of President Trump's 90-minute phone call with Vladimir Putin, which upended three years of US-led efforts to isolate Russia diplomatically. The Trump administration is emphatic: it wants an end to the war and that Europe is responsible for maintaining peace in any ceasefire deal. But can Europe guarantee Ukraine's security without US support? Later in the episode, GZERO's Tony Maciulis speaks with Alina Polyakova, President and CEO of the Center for European Policy Analysis, to discuss the reaction to the Trump-Putin call and growing fears that NATO allies will be left on the sidelines of peace negotiations in Ukraine.Host: Ian BremmerGuest: Elissa Slotkin Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.

In his first press conference following the elections, the United Kingdom's new Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer stressed the UK's “unshakable” commitment to NATO and that his government's “first duty” must be security and defence. As part of this commitment, a significant focus should be placed on securing Britain's and other NATO Allies' digital supply chains against stepped up cyber attacks by threat actors determined to breach our critical national infrastructure.

In the context of an increasingly volatile world, 23 of 32 NATO Allies are currently meeting the 2% of GDP military investment threshold. Canada is not one of them.But, by 2032, Trudeau says the government “hopes to reach the target”. By spending on new capabilities like submarines, which have yet to be costed or approved. So, what does this all mean, exactly? And how best should we be spending our 2%?With me to have that discussion is Dr. David Perry, President of the Canadian Global Affairs Institute, a non-partisan, independent think tank. He's the author of multiple publications on defence budgeting, transformation and procurement, and a columnist for the Canadian Naval Review. His PhD in political science came from Carleton University and he's an adjunct professor at the Centre for Military and Strategic Studies at the University of Calgary, as well as a research fellow of the Centre for the Study of Security and Development at Dalhousie University.Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

Tune in here to this Thursday edition of the Brett Winterble Show!   Brett kicks off the program by talking about powerful elites orchestrating what they describe as a coup d'état against President Biden and manipulating public opinion. He expresses frustration with the media's role in fueling this narrative and urges accountability for these actions, aiming to uphold democratic processes and political order.  We're joined by Jeremy Homesley and Ashley Demar from the play "Liberty Mountain" to discuss their immersive theatrical production. Jeremy, deeply passionate about history and acting, shares his journey from actor to director, highlighting the drama's portrayal of the Battle of Kings Mountain. Ashley underscores the drama's role in connecting local communities with their historical roots through educational outreach and live performances.   Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AP correspondent Ben Thomas reports a record number of NATO allies are hitting their defense spending target during war in Ukraine.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports a record number of NATO allies are expected to reach the alliance's recommended defense funding amid the war in Ukraine.

Russia's illegal war of aggression against Ukraine has shattered peace in Europe. NATO's Strategic doctrine states that Russia is the most significant and direct threat to Euro-Atlantic security, peace, and stability. It's clear Russia wants to establish spheres of influence and control other countries through coercion, subversion, aggression, and annexation. We can now see clearly that Russia uses conventional, cyber and hybrid means – including disinformation – against NATO Allies and partners. But it also deploys an array of illegal tactics against Ukraine – targeting civilian infrastructure, energy, agricultural, food and the economy and ecology, cultural targets, and civilian dwellings, uses rape, torture, and terror, and latterly strikes against first responders, massive glide bombs and chemical weapons. NATO says it does not seek confrontation and poses no threat to Russia, but that may be part of the problem. Russia commits crimes on this scale because no one, apart from Ukraine, has shown the will to stop them, or pose a significant threat to Russia's ambitions or Putin's regime. ---------- Sten Rynning is Director of the Danish Institute for Advanced Study.

But they were glad to see the U.S., Great Britain, and Germany immediately shoot down the notion that such a move was on the table..Then, they dig into a Washington Free Beacon story about how the border crisis is overwhelming a small, fairly progressive community in Whitewater, Wisconsin. The city is scrambling for money after services for migrants put it in a $400,000 budget bind. Meanwhile, drug activity and STD's are on the rise. And this is happening in plenty of other communities in this country.Finally, they scratch their heads as President Biden told reporters that he thinks an Israel-Hamas ceasefire will be in place this weekend.

Disgraced former President Donald Trump again said on Wednesday that if he returns to the White House, he would not defend NATO members that don't meet defense spending targets, days after he set off alarms in Europe by suggesting he would tell Russia to attack NATO allies he considered delinquent. Speaking at a campaign rally in South Carolina, he retold the story of his alleged conversation with the head of a NATO member country that had not met its obligations. This time, though, he left out the line that drew the most outrage — encouraging Russia “to do whatever the hell they want.” Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkbwLFZhawBqK2b9gW08z3g/join Five Minute News with Anthony Davis is an Evergreen Podcast, covering politics, inequality, health and climate - delivering independent, unbiased and essential news for the US and across the world.

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReiOut with Donald Trump's "unhinged" NATO threat to allow Putin to do whatever he wants to our allies as the U.S. stands by and does nothing, while seemingly promising to appease Putin on the issue of Ukraine. Also, we cover how Trump has formally asked the Supreme Court to put a hold on last week's ruling finding that he does not have presidential immunity from criminal prosecution as he meets with his sympathetic Florida judge in his stolen classified documents case. Plus, just like "the deep state" planned it, Taylor Swift's boyfriend and a few of his friends have won the Super Bowl, as Donald Trump tries to take credit for Swift's wildly successful music career. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

On our Monday edition of the DSR Daily, we discuss the Israeli strikes on Rafah, Trump's threats to abandon NATO allies in the case of a Russian attack, post-election strife in Pakistan, and more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

At a campaign event, Donald Trump claimed he told a NATO member that he would withhold U.S. help and encourage Russia "to do whatever the hell they want'' to countries that are "delinquent." European leaders condemned the comments as reckless and dangerous. Amna Nawaz discussed the implications with Kurt Volker, the U.S. special envoy to Ukraine during the Trump administration.
