Retired Air Vice-Marshal Sean Bell told Sky News he thinks Russia now knows what threats Ukraine poses and what tactics don't work.

It is the closest that Russia and America have come to direct confrontation in 60 years.

In the face of claims that delay may cost lives, the ambassador did not rule out them being in use within a few weeks. Although intense in places, the pace of fighting in Ukraine has slowed over winter. The ambassador says NATO expects that to go up a gear as spring approaches.
