Description
Despite grand speeches from Ukraine’s allies and NATO, pledged aid is not arriving.  Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General, made a surprise visit to Kyiv on Monday and found a lack of ammunition and air defence despite the promises made.  France Correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking that this failure to deliver is being exploited by the Russian forces.  She said that in the last few hours the Commander in Chief of Ukraine’s Armed Forces has said that his troops have had to withdraw from some of their positions in the Donetsk region as Russian troops surge forward.  LISTEN ABOVE    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
