NATO's Military Committee met in Prague on Friday and Saturday to discuss stepping up NATO's support package for Ukraine, after Russia warned NATO that a strike with Western-made missiles would be considered an act of war.

Among other security issues, Allies discussed the establishment of the NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine (NSATU) and launching the NATO-Ukraine Joint Analysis, Training, and Education Centre (JATEC) as part of NATO's support package to Ukraine.

Despite the urgent need for the West to provide Ukraine with ammunition, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned NATO just before the Prague meeting that allowing Ukraine to use longer-range Western missiles to strike inside Russia would be considered an act of war.

Meanwhile, as the situation in Ukraine unfolds, the realities of war and the need for a strong defence remain at the centre of domestic discussions.

To get an insight into the situation on the ground, host Evi Kiorri spoke to Lev Zinchenko, Programme Assistant in the Europe in the World Programme at the European Policy Centre.
