NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told CBS News he does not see any immediate threat against any of the 28 nations that make up the largest peacetime alliance in the world, despiteRussian aggression in Eastern Ukraine and unannounced military exercises near member states' airspace.
"We urge Russia not to...do these kinds of snap exercises. Every nation has the right to exercise its forces, also Russia, but they should do it in a more transparent and predictable way to avoid any misunderstandings," Secretary-General Stoltenberg to CBS News Chief White House correspondent Major Garrett.
On Monday, the Russian Defense Ministry ordered a "surprise combat readiness inspection" of its air forces. More than 12,000 servicemen and 250 aircraft are taking part in the exercises over Southern Russia. In recent months, the Kremlin has conducted several unannounced air defense exercises near NATO-member airspace in the Baltics.
NATO began a two-week military drill of its own Monday over the Arctic. The exercise, which has been planned for months, includes roughly 100 aircraft and 4000 military personnel from nine member nations including the US.
Earlier Tuesday, Mr. Stoltenberg held bilateral talks with President Obama in the Oval Office. White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the US is "closely monitoring" Russia's military drills.
The U.S. has denounced the Kremlin's support of separatists in Eastern Ukraine and Russia's annexation of Crimea in March 2014. Ukraine is not a NATO member, but the Secretary General said the alliance provides "political and practical support" to Ukraine's government.
"My strong view is that every nation has the right to decide its own path," Mr. Stoltenberg said. "It's up to this nation and 28 allies to decide if NATO's going to enlarge and have a new member. Ukraine has announced that they will implement a reform program and then aim at applying for membership. We will assess an application from Ukraine exactly the same way as we would assess any other application from any other country."

WASHINGTON President Barack Obama said on Tuesday the United States was working closely with its NATO allies to partner with other countries in the fight against Islamic State militants and addressing challenges in Libya.

"NATO is necessarily recognizing a whole range of global challenges, particularly on what we call the Southern Front... making sure that we continue to coordinate effectively in the fight against ISIL," Obama said, noting that all 28 members of the alliance were part of the coalition to support the Iraqi government against the group, also known as ISIL or ISIS.

Obama made the remarks during a meeting at the White House with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg.

News: NATO Secretary General thanks President Obama for strong US leadership , 26-May.-2015
Tuesday May 26th, 2015 at 4:43 PM

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and US President Barack Obama discussed the Alliance’s response to key security challenges at the White House in Washington D.C. on Tuesday (26 May 2015). The Secretary General thanked President Obama for strong leadership in uncertain times, saying “you have provided leadership at a critical moment, and continue to provide significant resources” to the Alliance. Mr. Stoltenberg highlighted the European Reassurance Initiative as a “significant contribution to transatlantic security”.
Bilateral meeting between NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and the President of United States of America.
Mr. Stoltenberg underlined the vitality of the trans-Atlantic bond, saying “wherever I go, I meet US servicemen and women. Their presence sends a clear message: America stands with Europe. Europe and America stand together. NATO will defend all Allies against any threat.” At the same time, he said, European Allies are stepping up their contribution, volunteering to lead NATO’s new high readiness Spearhead Force, and contributing to new command and control units in Central and Eastern Europe. “Together we are implementing the biggest reinforcement of our collective defence since the Cold War,” the Secretary General said.
The two leaders discussed what more the Alliance can do to meet challenges from the Middle East and North Africa. Mr. Stoltenberg noted that all Allies contribute to the US-led coalition to counter ISIL, while NATO has bolstered its support for Jordan, is preparing to assist Iraq with defence capacity building, and stands ready to assist Libya once security conditions permit. The Secretary General also stressed that NATO will stay engaged in Afghanistan beyond the current training mission.
The Secretary General and President Obama also focused on Russia’s aggressive actions in Ukraine. They agreed that the full implementation of the Minsk agreements is the “path to peace”, and urged all parties to work towards this in good faith. Mr. Stoltenberg stressed that NATO is strengthening Ukraine’s ability to defend itself, and affirmed that the Alliance is committed to supporting its other partners across Europe.
Against the background of challenges from both east and south may, the Secretary General said NATO needs to adapt, and Allies need to redouble efforts to invest in security. As NATO prepares for the Warsaw Summit in July 2016, he said that the key to the Alliance's success remains unity between Europe and North America.

    Obama, NATO Chief Discuss Russia’s ‘Increasingly Aggressive Posture’
    Tuesday May 26th, 2015 at 4:36 PM

    1 Share
    WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg met at the White House on Tuesday to discuss Russia’s “increasingly aggressive posture” in Eastern Europe.
    The two leaders discussed the security challenges that the alliance faces, including conflict in Ukraine.
    “We had a chance to discuss the situation in Ukraine and the increasingly aggressive posture that Russia has taken,” Mr. Obama said in brief remarks to reporters after the meeting.
    “We also reaffirmed the importance of implementing the Minsk agreement and ensuring that Ukraine is able to enjoy the same territorial integrity and sovereignty as any other country,” the president said.
    Russia annexed the Crimea peninsula from Ukraine last year and has been accused of providing support for separatist rebels in Eastern Ukraine.
    A cease-fire was negotiated earlier this year in the conflict in Eastern Ukraine.

    U.S. Hasn't Kept Ukraine Aid Promises

    Bloomberg View
    1 Share
    There’s a large gap between what the U.S. has promised in nonlethal military aid to Ukraine's armed forces and national guard and what it has actually delivered. As the U.S. promises to consider sending lethal aid to Ukraine, those delays and shortfalls are not only feeding frustration and disappointment, but also undermining the credibility of these new pledges.
    Secretary of State John Kerry met with Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko on Thursday andpledged that the U.S. would stand by his government as it battles an increasingly aggressive separatist movement, heavily supported and armed by the Russian government. But according to the Obama administration’s own accounting to Congress, revealed in a document distributed on Capitol Hill in mid-December that I obtained, only half of the $118 million of nonlethal assistance pledged to Ukraine has so far been delivered.
    “We keep making promises that aren’t fulfilled. We don’t think the administration’s promises are being kept,” Republican Senator Rob Portman, who together with Democratic Senator Richard Durbin leads a new caucus in the chamber organized to raise the profile of the Ukraine issue, told me in an interview. “The administration seems to want to stand by while the violence escalates and more people are killed.”
    According to the document, a range of items the U.S. has said it will send to the Ukrainian Armed Forces and State Border Guard Service have yet to be delivered. Among them are water purification systems, medical supplies, binoculars, sleeping bags, tents and cold weather gear. The border guard is missing promised SUVs, armored trucks, vans, spare tires and much more.
    Portman said that Ukraine has not received any of more than 100 promised Humvees, and that the administration pledged to give Ukraine armored ambulances but never came through. Senate staff members told me that many in the State Department and Defense Department are frustrated with the White House, which they argue hasn’t shown urgency in getting the gear to Ukraine.
    Moreover, the administration has sent equipment that, even within the defensive restrictions it has set, is of limited use to the Ukrainians. Instead of giving Ukraine anti-battery radar, for instance, which is capable against longer-range threats, the U.S. has given Ukraine less-effective anti-mortar radar systems. Also, the U.S. gave Ukraine 150 night-vision devices in September, but declined to provide night-vision gun scopes that could be used in battle.
    State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki confirmed to me that only half the promised assistance has arrived but maintained that the administration remains committed to boosting Ukraine’s security capabilities as quickly as it can. 
    “The United States has not only committed to providing a range of nonlethal and economic assistance to Ukraine, we are using every lever possible to ensure assistance that has been approved is delivered efficiently and in a timely manner,” she said.
    The problems with the process of moving nonlethal aid are not new. Last April, retired General Wesley Clark and Ukraine weapons expert Phillip Karber issued a report that called on the Obama administration to appoint a high-level official to oversee nonlethal aid, to fix the process in response to the urgency of the emergency:
    “Delivery of US non-lethal military aid is harmed by a bureaucracy that is not operating with a sense of urgency or implementing leadership. It must be replaced with an attitude that puts a priority on helping Ukraine ahead of a narrow preoccupation with administrative procedure and institutional budgets.”
    Karber told me in an interview that the administration has subsequently not made any progress in fixing that system, and that Ukrainian officials have told him they are beginning to doubt the administration’s overall commitment to the effort.
    “Obama short-sheeted Poroshenko. He promises them one thing and delivers then something else,” he said. “This disconnect, it undermines the basis of American credibility. The cynicism in Eastern Europe about American credibility is palpable. It is putting to a lie the argument that they actually care. They make these statements and then it takes months or it doesn’t happen.”
    Over the last few months, Russia has drastically stepped up its provision of heavy weaponry to the Ukrainian separatists, and in recent weeks the fighting has intensified. As a result, the Obama administration is now re-evaluating its previous decision not to take aid to Ukraine to the next level by directly providing lethal assistance, including Javelin anti-tank missiles, small arms and ammunition. 
    “We cannot close our eyes to tanks crossing the border from Russia and coming into Ukraine, we can’t close our eyes to Russian fighters in unmarked uniforms crossing the border and leading individual companies of so-called separatists into battle,” Kerry said Thursday in Kiev.
    New data compiled by Karber claims that, since October, Russia has moved into Ukraine more than 400 armored fighting vehicles, 250 tanks, 100 “Grad” multiple launch rocket systems, 75 artillery batteries and more.
    Frustration with the lack of lethal military assistance to Ukraine on Capitol Hill is bipartisan. In December, Obama signed the Ukraine Freedom Support Act, which authorizes defensive lethal aid and passed Congress unanimously. But in a statement, the White House said the president’s signing of the bill did not signal an actual change in policy.
    “I think we need to give the Ukrainians the resources they need to protect themselves, particularly with regard to border security. And that does require giving them lethal aid,” Democratic Senator Ben Cardin told me.
    The group of 15 senators led by Portman and Durbin wrote to Obama on Tuesday calling on him to use his authority to provide defensive lethal aid to Ukraine, arguing that increasing the pressure on Putin is the only way to convince him to back down from his current escalation in eastern Ukraine.
    “Despite the welcome imposition of U.S. and EU sanctions and mounting international isolation, Russian President Putin appears willing to gamble his country’s economy and world standing to further his blatant military invasion of another nation,” the senators wrote. “That he is willing to undertake such a selfish pursuit to protect his kleptocracy and at the cost of the Russian people’s freedoms, aspirations, and talents is only the more tragic. Such a dangerous international bully will only stand down when faced with credible resistance.”
    Obama acknowledged in an interview with CNN last week that even as Western-imposed sanctions have hurt Russia’s economy, they have not deterred Putin from aggressively interfering in Ukraine.
    Inside the White House, some administration officials believe that lethal assistance to Ukraine will not only fail to deter Putin, but also push him to escalate the conflict further, adding to the human tragedy and dragging the U.S. into a hot war that European countries want no part of. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has publicly stated Germany will not arm the Ukrainian military.
    Kerry has been working behind the scenes to cut a deal in which Russia would cease its aggression in Ukraine in exchange for limited sanctions relief and an agreement to table the issue of Crimea. The Russians have repeatedly rejected those terms.
    Some experts agree with the administration that escalation through the form of U.S. lethal assistance to Ukraine is too risky, especially because Ukraine will always be more important to Russia than to America, and there’s no limit on what Putin will do to protect Russian interests there.
    “If the Russians want to crush the entire Ukrainian military and take the entire country, they could do it. No amount of military assistance to Ukraine will change that fact. All it will do is kill more Russians as they kill more Ukrainians,” said Sam Charap, senior fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies. “Putin is trying to turn this into a battle in the Russian mind between Russia and America. And military assistance helps them with that.”
