For NATO, a worst-case scenario would be a Russian attack on one of its member states. Now it’s rehearsing for exactly that possibility: running its biggest military drills since the Cold War to practice its response.
The exercise, called Steadfast Defender, sees some 90,000 troops from 32 countries taking part with fighter jets, tanks, and warships: all shortly before the second anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Since then, Kyiv has fought to expel its invaders with help from Western weapon deliveries: but will the support continue? Today on To The Point we’re looking at Putin’s imperial ambitions, asking: Is the West leaving Ukraine out to dry?
Our guests: Markus Kaim. Senior Fellow at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs
Milan Nic, senior fellow at the German Council on Foreign Relations
DW Brussels correspondent and NATO expert Teri Schultz, joining us today from Finland.
