Trump willing to help Ukraine 'from the air' but not put boots on the ground | ITV News

The US President said the country would only be willing to help Ukraine "from the air" as a part of security guarantees.

Speaking to Fox News on Tuesday, Trump said European troops would be involved on the ground in Ukraine to deter any future Russian invasion.

“They’re willing to put people on the ground,” Trump said.

"Some of them, France and Germany, a couple of them, the UK – they are going to have boots on the ground.

“We’re willing to help them with things, especially probably if you could talk about by air, because there’s nobody has the kind of stuff we have.”
