ROME: NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg warned Wednesday (Feb 25) that any attempt to expand territory held by separatists in Ukraine would be "unacceptable" and told Russia to withdraw 1,000 items of military equipment from its neighbour's territory.

Speaking after meeting Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, the alliance's secretary general expressed cautious optimism about the prospects of a shaky truce holding between pro-Russian rebels and Ukrainian forces.

"I welcome the recent indications of reduced fighting in Ukraine and we hope that the ceasefire now is finally going to be respected," he said. "It is important that all parties fully respect the ceasefire and withdraw heavy weapons.

"Russia has transferred in recent months over 1,000 pieces of equipment - tanks, artillery and advanced air defence systems. They have to withdraw this equipment and they have to stop supporting separatists."

The NATO boss added: "It is important that all parties now respect the provisions of the Minsk agreement. And any attempt to expand further the territory held by separatists would be a clear violation of the Minsk agreement and the ceasefire. And it would be unacceptable to the international community."

Stoltenberg's comments came as Ukraine's military announced it was starting the withdrawal of heavy weapons from the frontline of the conflict. The withdrawal of all weapons over a calibre of 100mm is meant to contribute to a buffer zone between the two warring sides of between 50 and 140 kilometres, depending on the range of the arms.

Under the terms of a peace plan signed by Kiev and the rebels this month, the withdrawal is meant to be completed in 14 days. The rebels insist they have begun to pull back their heavy weapons but OSCE monitors on the ground have so far been unable to verify the claims.

AMARI AIR BASE, Estonia NATO's newest members are nervous.

Troops are being trained up and reinforced. A new "spearhead force" is in the works. Fighter jets are scrambling. Military maneuvering is ramping up amid mounting concerns that Russian President Vladimir Putin will broaden his gaze beyond Crimea and Ukraine to the Baltic nations.

Valdis Dombrovskis, vice president of the European Commission, warned that Russia was redrawing the map of Europe by force. Britain's Defense Secretary Michael Fallon last week said there was a "real and present danger" Russia's president would seek to destabilize Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania all small NATO members with enough legitimate issues of disenfranchisement among their Russian minorities to make them prime potential targets for any Putin push.

Lithuania moved to reintroduce the military draft this week, days after its foreign minister warned Russia was "behaving aggressively" and posed a threat to countries beyond Ukraine.

NATO insists that it is ready to confront any threat. But with its new members airing more and more anxiety over aggressive moves from Moscow, the alliance is beefing up its deterrent capabilities. Its "Top Guns" have been put on notice, part of the alliance's around-the-clock Baltic Air Policing mission.

"They're normally quite heavily armed all sorts of missiles and so on"

The importance of attention to the aerial front line has been underscored by a dramatic uptick in Russian incursions into European airspace though analysts say the moves are mostly for intimidation.

"It's essentially a way of saber rattling," said Justin Bronk, an analyst at the London-based Royal United Services Institute. "It's pointing out how quickly Russia can get inside NATO airspace in those countries with powerful military aircraft and it's also, of course, a way for Russia to test NATO readiness and response levels."

Italy's Ambassador to Lithuania, Stefano Taliani, called the Russian airspace violations "a kind of war game," telling NBC News that NATO pilots "know the rules."

Still, he warned that "in the Baltic states, we must be ready."

NATO's 'Top Guns' on Notice Amid Fears of Putin Push

ROME NATO's chief says the alliance is ready to advise Libya's government on defense and security issues, saying the deteriorating situation in the country is posing new security threats for Europe that require a more robust defense.

NATO secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg also told a news conference Thursday in Rome that the alliance plans to bolster its surveillance of the region by using drones based at the NATO base at Sigonella in Sicily, starting next year.

NATO helped enforce an arms embargo and a no-fly zone over Libya during the 2011 ouster of Moammar Gadhafi's regime. The mission ended in October 2011, and the security situation has since spiraled out of control with two separate governments and multiple armed groups, including some affiliated with the Islamic State.
