I'm John Betster with my colleague and friend Judy Dempsey, the editor-in-chief of strategic Europe.

All these issues are discussed with in Strategic Europe. You sign up and you get the email and what's inside is the are the many voices of the EU and of NATO.

Our allies. Our allies in three wars variously. Judy has asked the question of

her colleagues should NATO coordinate military support for Ukraine. That

word coordinate is very clever. I'm going to avoid

it and say the answers are various but overwhelmingly yes. Yes how Judy how did you

hear the yes?

And the yes was actually it was quite

so many the respondents said yes but and the United States won't allowed the United States won't allow because the aid without getting into the gritty details, the Nitty Gritty details, the aid is

coordinated from the US military base in Ramstein and Germany and there's hugely much

the latter, the Japanese are there, the Koreans are there

and other countries are there about 50 countries and the Americans want to

keep a handle on this. The problem is that it doesn't matter who comes into the White House after the November

elections. But the issue is, should the Europeans and NATO per se be doing the coordinating and actually all the respondents said yes, but all the

respondents hinted that the United States will not allow this, which is a great

shame because actually it weakens the legitimacy of nature's role, NATO per se and in Ukraine.

Dominic Gankowski, Deputy Permanent Representative of Poland and NATO.

I like him.

He's very clear.

There's no ambiguity in his response.

He gives three reasons why.

Yes, NATO should do more for Ukraine for three reasons.
