9:37Now PlayingMatt Frei is joined in the studios with Air Marshal Edward Stringer, the former Director General of the UK's Joint Force Deployment, to discuss the future of Europe's security following comments made by the Donald Trump administration ahead of the Munich Security Conference.
Leaders gathered in Germany after Donald Trump and his Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth set a new paradigm in the war in Ukraine and broke with decades of US foreign policy on Europe.
Trump announced that he had spoken to Vladimir Putin and would begin negotiations for peace in Ukraine, while Hegseth told European and NATO allies that they would have to begin paying more for the security of their own continent.
This sparked accusations of a betrayal of Ukraine, as the country's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy also insisted that he and his officials would take part in any peace talks.
Some EU leaders hit out at Trump and accused him of appeasement" - similar to western European governments that gave a series of concessions to Nazi Germany in a failed bid to avoid the Second World War.
