The Defence Secretary today said Britain was ready to put 'UK boots on the ground' in Ukraine should Donald Trump's talks with Vladimir Putin result in a ceasefire.
John Healey outlined how British troops could help 'secure the safe skies, safe seas and build the strength of the Ukrainian forces' in the event of a peace deal.
The US President is due to meet with the Russian leader in Alaska later on Friday in an effort to end the three-year long conflict in Ukraine.
Prior to departing Washington DC, Mr Trump looked ahead to 'high stakes' talks with Mr Putin and expressed confidence 'something is going to come' of the discussions.
Mr Healey told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the 'coalition of the willing' of Ukrainian allies - including Britain - was poised to help enforce a ceasefire.
