UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has signaled his readiness to deploy British troops to Ukraine as part of a postwar peacekeeping force, emphasizing the need for lasting stability in the region
British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, has stated that he is "ready and willing" to deploy UK troops to Ukraine as part of a postwar peacekeeping force.
His remarks come ahead of high-level talks set to take place this week, as European leaders gather for an emergency summit in Paris to discuss the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict.
Starmer emphasized that the decision to potentially send British servicemen and women into a conflict zone was not made lightly but stressed that ensuring a lasting peace in Ukraine is crucial to deterring further aggression from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
UK troops could be stationed alongside soldiers from other European nations along the border separating Ukrainian- and Russian-held territories.
Starmer is set to attend the Paris summit and is also scheduled to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington later this month.
