The British foreign secretary has insisted NATO troops will not be sent to Ukraine. Lord Cameron told the BBC's Ukrainecast the military alliance is 'looking at is a NATO mission for Ukraine, not a NATO mission in Ukraine'. The alliance has avoided putting boots on the ground in Ukraine as it does not want a direct conflict with Russian forces.
