UK pledges 'boots on the ground' in Ukraine as European leaders meet for emergency summit

UK pledges 'boots on the ground' in Ukraine as European leaders meet for emergency summit

Day 1,090.

Today, just as the Munich Security Conference ends, two new summits begin: in Saudi Arabia – where the US will enter peace talks with the Russians – and in Paris, as European prime ministers and defence secretaries scramble to forge a collective position. Meanwhile, attacks continue in Ukraine and Russia, and we interview again the 2022 winner of the Nobel Peace Prize at Munich.
