00:00Days after Russian drones flew into Poland's airspace, NATO is flexing its muscles with
00:06a new operation dubbed Eastern Sentry. It aims to reinforce the alliance's eastern flank
00:12bordering Belarus, Russia and Ukraine.
00:14NATO's core task is to deter aggression and defend every member of this alliance against
00:21whatever threats we face. Safeguarding our eastern flank is of utmost importance.
00:28Denmark, France, the UK and Germany have already offered contributions including fighter jets,
00:33ships and ground-based air defence systems. The alliance has maintained a permanent air
00:38mission known as air policing since Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014. Poland is hailing
00:44the latest initiative after Warsaw said it was sure Russia's drone incursion was no mistake.
00:49Russia's reckless actions represent not only a breach of international law but also the
00:57stabilizing escalation that brings the entire region closer to conflict.
01:04Russia has denied responsibility for the incursion and says it was physically impossible for Russian
01:09drones to have reached Poland. The US, meanwhile, has vowed to defend every inch of NATO territory.
