Latika quizzes Mr Volker on the Trump Administration’s positions on Ukraine, why Donald Trump fails to use force against Russian President Vladimir Putin and whether the Coalition of the Willing should deploy now rather than wait for a ceasefire.

Mr Volker discusses the recent Russian incursion into Polish airspace and what NATO should be doing to defend member states against Russian greyzoning.
