Defence Secretary John Healey has sent a personal message to Vladimir Putin, telling him: “You said you want to talk, prove it.”
Mr Healey flew to Paris to meet defence chiefs from E5 countries – France, Germany, Italy and Poland – to discuss plans for a deterrent to stop Vladimir Putin from invading again. He hailed last night’s “vital step” after Ukraine accepted a US proposal for a temporary 30-day ceasefire that can be extended by mutual agreement.
