UK troops could be sent to Ukraine as a peacekeeping force. That's according to British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. His remarks come as world leaders prepare for high-stakes talks on ending the conflict.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says he is prepared to send UK troops to Ukraine as part of a postwar peacekeeping mission. His comments come as talks aimed at ending the conflict are set to begin this week.
Writing in The Daily Telegraph, Starmer said he did not take the decision to put British servicemen and women “in harm’s way” lightly but stressed that securing a lasting peace was crucial to deterring further aggression from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said any “real negotiations” to end Moscow’s war would involve Ukraine and Europe. He described this week’s U.S.-Russia talks as a chance to gauge Putin’s seriousness about peace.
European leaders are also preparing for key discussions in Paris, where Starmer is expected to join German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. French President Emmanuel Macron called the meeting to coordinate support for Ukraine.
These developments follow a move by U.S. President Donald Trump, who stunned European allies last week by announcing he had spoken with Putin about launching a peace process—without consulting NATO or Ukraine. His Ukraine envoy, Keith Kellogg, later suggested that Kyiv and European leaders might not have a seat at the negotiating table.
