US air force ‘could police Ukraine's skies’ as 10 European nations 'ready' to send peacekeeping forces & the numbers that show Russia is years from victory
Day 1,274.
Today, as President Donald Trump says the US may provide air support to back a Ukraine peace deal, we assess reports that as many as 10 European countries are considering putting boots on the ground if Russia agrees to end its war. Then we take a step back and try to make sense of the historic past few days. What, if anything, has changed? Then we hear a dispatch Adelie recorded in Ukraine at the funeral of journalist Victoria Roshchyna.
