00:00 NATO's Secretary General has pressed member states to give more Patriot missile systems
00:09 to Ukraine during a video address in Brussels.
00:12 Jens Stoltenberg said that new announcements on air defence capabilities for Ukraine will

00:20 This is a war of aggression where Russia is attacking a neighbour, attacking Ukraine.
00:26 Ukraine has the right to self-defence and that includes also striking legitimate military
00:34 targets outside Ukraine.
00:37 On Friday, Kiev claimed it had shot down a supersonic Tu-22M3 bomber more than 300km
00:44 away from the front line.
00:45 Russia, however, said the plane crashed due to a technical fault.
00:49 Ukraine's military intelligence say the bombers use powerful Soviet-made ballistic missiles
00:54 but because they're not very accurate they're more likely to kill or injure civilians.
