World Today

Leaders from the 28-nation NATO alliance are meeting in Wales this week, where the Ukraine crisis will top the agenda.

They are expected to approve a plan for a permanent, “rapid-reaction” strike force to counter the perceived threat from Russia on the organization’s eastern borders. CCTV America’s Richard Bestic reports.

To discuss the crisis in Ukraine, CCTV America’s Asieh Namdar is joined by William Courtney, a former U.S. Ambassador to Kazakhstan and Georgia. He is now a senior fellow at the RAND Corporation, a Washington think tank.
