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.
