11:08Now Playing'Putin will be back for more': Ex-defence secretary criticises US-Russia peace talks
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFormer defence secretary Sir Ben Wallace is not impressed by the start of talks between the US and Russia regarding the war in Ukraine, with Donald Trump hoping to do a quick deal that brings the conflict to an end.
The ex-Tory minister criticises America's lack of commitment to helping uphold any peace, and excluding Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Europe from the talks thus far.
Coupled with Russia's "red line" of there being no foreign troops in Ukraine after the war, the talks are "not off to a great start".
Wallace says Russia doesn't want peacekeeping troops in Ukraine "because Putin will be back for more".
