Summary

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has Europe on alert. Many of the countries are planning to bolster their own military defenses and some historically neutral counties are even considering joining NATO. But what does this mean for America, our future engagement on the continent, and security in Europe and around the world? Earlier this week on the FOX News Rundown, host Jessica Rosenthal spoke with Former NATO Ambassador Kurt Volker to address these questions. Volker also explained why he thinks Russia has already lost the war in Ukraine and thinks analysts are wrong when they say the conflict will last years. He says it will be over in weeks or months. Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the conversation in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear the entire discussion with Former NATO Ambassador Kurt Volker and hear his optimistic take on the war in Ukraine and the threat of China invading Taiwan.
