Cut some ice bringing peacekeepers into bed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

count

'cut some ice' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'peacekeepers into bed' is the wordplay.
'peacekeepers' becomes 'un'.
'into' is an insertion indicator.
'bed' becomes 'cot' (cot is a kind of bed).
'un' inserted within 'cot' is 'COUNT'.

'bringing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for count that I've seen before include "Reckon" , "Nobleman - tell how many" , "Have significance" , "consideration" , "regard" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
