London, March 1 (UNI) UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson will be flying to NATO’s border with Russia on Tuesday. According to The Guardian, the PM has pledged that Russian President Vladimir Putin will “feel the consequences” for invading Ukraine. He will be travelling to Poland and Estonia to meet his counterparts. In the virtual meeting held on Monday, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley held a meeting with NATO’s Military Committee in Chiefs of Defence to discuss Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which is “undermining global security”. “The US’ commitment to defending NATO territory is ironclad and the United States will continue to bolster our posture to better defend our NATO Allies,” the leaders said. According to a classified US government briefing attended by US senator Chris Murphy, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has fallen behind schedule due to to fierce local resistance, and multiple Russian equipment and logistics failures. In a series of tweets, Murphy said, “Confirmation that the Russians have fallen behind their timeline. Ukrainian resistance has been fierce and there have been multiple Russi.an equipment and logistics failures. “DoD and DHS are pressing hard for Congress to end the continuing resolution and get a budget passed. There is no way for our national security agencies to be nimble enough to support Ukraine if they are operating on the 2020/21 budget. “The ability to keep supply lines running to Ukraine remains alive, but Russia will try to encircle and cut off Kiev in the next several weeks. The fight for Kiev will be long and bloody and Ukrainians are rapidly preparing for street to street combat. “The US and allies are coordinating to not only freeze the assets of Putin and his oligarch allies, but to seize those assets as well. This is likely a further step than Putin’s inner circle anticipated.
