NATO Foreign Affairs Ministers hold a roundtable as the US-led defence alliance meets in Oslo meeting, with the provision of security guarantees to Ukraine after its war with Russia ends on the agenda as the alliance looks to narrow divisions over Kyiv's push to join the bloc. Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February last year has galvanised the Western military alliance set up almost 75 years ago to face off against the Soviet Union. IMAGES

NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg on Wednesday said there was no sign Russian President Vladimir Putin had dropped "his ambition to control the whole of Ukraine" and the war could last for years. Stoltenberg said the conflict had reached a "critical phase" as Moscow moved its battered forces out of the north of Ukraine and rearmed them in preparation for a major offensive in the east. For more analysis, FRANCE 24 is joined by Gustav Gressel, Senior Policy Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR). FRANCE 24's Nadia Massih asks our guest: "Is NATO likely to agree to send more weaponry to Ukraine?" In NATO, there are pro-Russian countries, like Hungary, which will make it "difficult to agree on a common position," explains Mr. Gressel. "But it will certainly be a chance for a lot of defense ministers who have already signaled their intent to do so, in the coming days and weeks, to coordinate what actually would be available and what could be delivered." And while eastern European NATO allies would be able to provide Ukraine immediately with the necessary military equipment, Mr. Gressel says that "they would like to see some further NATO reinforcements into their country because it would expose them to Russian bullying or blackmailing."
