It's too early to talk about sending troops to Ukraine, Riho Terras, Estonian MEP and vice-chair of the European Parliament committee on Defence, tells Euronews' Radio Schuman today.

Two days after a heated exchange between Presidents Trump and Zelenskyy, UK PM Starmer announced a "coalition of the willing" with France to support Ukraine, including a commitment to send peacekeeping troops. However, Russia opposes any NATO or European peacekeeping presence, and key European countries like Germany and Poland are reluctant. Terras said the idea was premature, arguing the focus should be on securing a ceasefire and peace talks. He also emphasised the need to rebuild ties with the US, even if it means adapting to Trump's approach.

Radio Schuman also discusses new announcements by the European Commission and a new survey on the extent European are prepared for climate disasters.
