The only thing that will change the picture in #Ukraine is foreign troops on the ground supporting Ukraine. NATO cannot provide these, maybe some non-NATO countries could? Australia? South Korea? (Let's face it the North Koreans are there already).
It's the only language Putin will understand.

Only 37 per cent of the electorate voted for Brexit after a campaign shaped by misinformation. The real way that Britain can strengthen its national interest is by rebuilding trust with Europe and restoring the protection of jobs, trade and stability.
