Ex-UK Prime Minister Johnson calls on allies to send noncombat troops to Ukraine ahead of ceasefire


While the “coalition of the willing” is working on plans to send troops to Ukraine, such a deployment would only take place after an agreement to end the fighting and would be designed to police the ceasefire.
