Nato to bolster Eastern Europe against Russia

Nato is set to announce details of a plan to bolster the alliance’s military presence in Eastern Europe in response to continued fighting in Ukraine.

 

The bloc’s chief says it will be the biggest reinforcement of its collective defence since the end of the Cold War.

 

Meanwhile, US Secretary of State John Kerry is to hold talks in Kiev as the US considers whether to send weapons to help Ukraine fight pro-Russian rebels.

 

The US has so far only provided “non-lethal” assistance to Ukraine.
