00:00 The government of Italy warned that NATO's sending troops to support Ukraine would represent
00:05 the end of diplomacy.
00:06 This was stated by the Italian Minister of Defence Guido Crosero regarding the France
00:11 and Poland statements about a possible sending of NATO troops to Ukraine.
00:16 NATO cannot speak on behalf of the multinational organization, which in his view has stayed
00:24 out of the conflict.
00:26 Crosero considers that taking troops to Caip would be a step towards a unidirectional aggression
00:32 that would eliminate the path of diplomacy.
00:40 From Poland there is a report about the country's foreign minister saying that some North Atlantic
00:44 Treaty Organization member countries have already sent troops to Ukraine.
00:49 Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has been referred saying that NATO soldiers
00:55 are already in Ukraine and he warmly thanked the ambassadors of the countries willing to
01:01 take that risk.
01:02 However, Polish President Andrzej Duda said that so far there has been no such declaration
01:08 from his government, but he did not rule out the possibility of providing military assistance
01:14 to Ukrainian forces.
01:20 NATO troops from France, Sweden, Finland and Italy are conducting an amphibious joint operation
01:26 in Fjord in the northern Norway as part of NATO's Nordic Response Drill, the largest
01:31 of its kind since 1988, which will run until March 14th.
01:35 "It's very important.
01:38 We have kind of a saying of 'to secure peace is to prepare for war' and I feel like that
01:47 that describes the situation very well.
