Ukraine and European leaders agreed on Saturday to an unconditional 30-day ceasefire from 12 May with the backing of US president Donald Trump, threatening president Vladimir Putin with new “massive” sanctions if he failed to comply.

The announcement was made by the leaders of Britain, France, Germany, Poland and Ukraine after a meeting in Kyiv, during which they held a phone call with Trump.

Anything but their own skin in the game by sending troops in.

Ukraine is defending NATO but NATO won't defend Ukraine. Disgraceful.

Ukraine allowed itself to be cynically being used as cannon fodder by NATO. That was the game plan all along.
