NATO warplanes patrolling the Baltic region this week, but now this long-standing policing operation has been bolstered. Danish fighter jets deployed to NATO's edge in Lithuania and the welcome ceremony for the personnel was a public occasion for a reason, designed to send a message to Russia. I think the time for diplomacy is still there and we have to talk, we have to send very clear messages to some countries which are trying to increase attention in the region. The Danish Air Force flew in four F-16 jets to Lithuania as part of a developing NATO strategy to deter military action by Russian forces who've massed in their tens of thousands on Ukraine's border. That is the main role of NATO in peacetime deterrents and reassurance and I believe that this is part of that and hopefully that will be they will do the job and do the deterrence and that work but it's worrying what we're seeing now. Concernors grown in the Baltic states in recent days as Russian forces and equipment have moved into Belarus. The two nations now carrying out joint military exercises.
