Healey says Putin-Trump talks may be first step to peace

The UK's Defence Secretary, Ben Wallace, has stated that the UK is prepared to deploy troops to Ukraine if a ceasefire is established between Russia and Ukraine. This comes as reports suggest that President Putin and former US President Trump may be in talks to find a path to peace. Wallace said that while the UK is not currently involved in direct military operations in Ukraine, it is ready to "put boots on the ground" if a ceasefire is agreed upon. He emphasized that the UK's primary goal is to support Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The potential talks between Putin and Trump have raised hopes for a diplomatic solution to the ongoing conflict, which has already caused significant loss of life and displacement of people. However, the details and outcomes of these discussions remain uncertain, and the situation in Ukraine continues to be highly volatile.
