Video Description

A frontline medic near Kramatorsk in eastern Ukraine tells World Affairs Editor Sam Kiley that Nato is far from ready for war with Russia – and is training for a bygone era. “If you were to talk to Nato military officials, they would reassure you that everything is under control, they're well-equipped, they're well-prepared. But I don't think anyone can be prepared for a conflict like this.
