Russia, Ukraine 'not in the mood to comprise' for peace talks: Michael Allen

Former Special Assistant for National Security to President George W. Bush, Michael Allen discusses dwindling peace talks between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin, the Iranian regime's handling of protests and the nuclear deal.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg urged members of NATO to stock up on weapons to supply Ukraine as attacks from Russia continue, according to reports.

Reuters reported that the NATO chief called for allies to stock up just days after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asked for weapons and defense systems to stand up to a Russian invasion.

"I call on allies to do more," Stoltenberg said. "It is in all our security interests to make sure Ukraine prevails and [Russian President Vladimir] Putin does not win."

"We know that most wars end at the negotiating table - probably this war too - but we know that what Ukraine can achieve in these negotiations depends inextricably on the military situation," he said.
