单集文稿 ...

  • I'm Rachel Martin, host of Wildcard from NPR.

  • I've spent years interviewing all kinds of people,

  • and I've realized there are ideas that we all think about, but don't talk about very much.

  • So I made a shortcut, a deck of cards with questions that anyone can answer,

  • questions that go deep into the experiences that shape us.

  • Listen to the Wildcard podcast only from NPR.

  • Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman.

  • Defense officials from several countries are meeting today at the Pentagon.

  • Members of what's called the Coalition of the Willing are talking about ways to help Ukraine

  • if fighting their stops.

  • Britain is playing a lead role.

  • NPR's Lauren Frayer reports from Edinburgh, Scotland.

  • The UK and France are preparing to send peacekeepers to Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire.

  • They call it a reassurance force.

  • UK officials have said they'll help police Ukraine's skies and seas,

  • but will not deploy British troops to the front line with Russia.

  • The head of the UK's armed forces, Tony Radikin, is attending these Pentagon meetings.

  • Among the details to be worked out is the possibility of a no-fly zone,

  • and whether European peacekeepers will be able to use US military bases in Europe.

  • Europe as staging areas.
