UK Troops In Ukraine…But Only Under A Peace Deal

Today, Adam and Chris discuss the latest agreement between the Coalition of the Willing and the US to provide security guarantees for Ukraine as part of ongoing efforts to secure a ceasefire with Russia. The talks in Paris saw the UK and France agree to put troops on the ground "in the event of a peace deal". Plus we look at why President Trump has his sights set on Greenland and whether he really might annex the island. Adam is joined by the Economist’s defence editor Shashank Joshi and Dr Gabriella Gricius, senior fellow at the Arctic Institute to discuss the strategic importance of Greenland to security in the Arctic.
