Will Ukraine have to give up 'fortress belt' of cities? | Michael Clarke analysis

Sky's defence analyst Prof Michael Clarke looks at what land Ukraine might be asked to give up when Donald Trump meets Vladimir Putin on Friday in Alaska. The Trump administration says the talks will be a "listening exercise" as part of the US president's latest move to try and bring an end to the conflict in Ukraine. However, European and Ukrainian leaders fear Kyiv will be asked to give up a chunk of the Donbas know as the 'fortress belt' of cities in the east of the country. Prof Clarke explains how that could allow Russia to renew the war at a later date with reduced Ukrainian defences.
