5:15Now PlayingBritain and France are drawing up plans to send a "reassurance force" to Ukraine, Sir Keir Starmer has said following the latest round of peace talks.
The two countries will send military chiefs to Kyiv as they asses how to keep Ukraine prepared for the future, the Prime Minister said following a summit in Paris this afternoon.
Up to 30 countries have been involved at the planning meetings, with "different countries are putting forward different capabilities," Starmer said.
Referencing Macron, Starmer added that the "group asked Emmanuel and me to lead the co-ordination of the efforts we have touched on this morning."
But Starmer insisted peacekeeping plans were still in motion, saying it was his “long-standing position” that Parliament would have a say when the time comes for deploying British troops.
He added that any “reassurance force” would also need support from the US.
"This is done in recognition that we also need US involvement," the Prime Minister told reporters.
In light of this news, Andrew Marr is joined by Russia's Prime Minister from 2000-2004, Mikhail Kasyanov, to discuss whether these measures will be enough to quash Putin.
