Delegations arrived in London on Wednesday for talks on a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine after the discussions were downgraded from the very top level. Officials, including the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the Foreign Secretary David Lammy had been expected to attend, but that’s now not happening.The downgrading in the level of diplomacy is in contrast with an intensification in the pressure from Donald Trump to agree a ceasefire. So, what’s going on? Is a peace deal inching closer or moving further away? On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson talks to Sky’s military analyst Michael Clarke to find out.Producer: Soila Apparicio Editor: Philly Beaumont
