Former NATO Secretary General Anders Rasmussen called on Britain and France to immediately send troops to Ukraine.
The two European nuclear powers should not wait for a peace agreement, he told the "Telegraph" newspaper.
In an interview with the "Guardian", Rasmussen described the "coalition of desire" as the "coalition of those who are waiting". According to him, Europe must turn it into a "coalition of action" and prove to Russia its full willingness to support Ukraine.
