British Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized the importance of planning for peacekeeping operations ahead of any potential agreement between Russia and Ukraine. Speaking during a visit to a nuclear submarine facility in Barrow, England, on Thursday (March 20, 2025), Starmer highlighted the need for coordinated efforts to secure Ukraine’s sea, air, and borders once a peace deal is in place.
His remarks came as military leaders from numerous countries gathered in the UK to discuss preparations for a possible peacekeeping force in Ukraine. Starmer stressed that it was crucial to have concrete plans ready before any diplomatic agreement, rather than waiting until a deal is finalized.
“We're looking at plans to keep the sea, the sky, and borders safe in Ukraine, working with the Ukrainians,” Starmer told reporters. “I’m clear in my mind that if there is a deal, and I hope there is, we need to do the planning beforehand, not after the deal.”
During his visit, Starmer also engaged with workers and submariners at the facility, underscoring the significance of Britain’s military capabilities as the nation prepares to play a key role in potential peacekeeping efforts. The discussions come at a critical juncture, as the international community looks for ways to stabilize Ukraine and ensure its safety following years of conflict.
As the situation continues to evolve, the UK’s proactive approach to planning for peacekeeping operations signals a commitment to supporting Ukraine through both diplomatic and military channels. The prime minister’s visit highlights the strategic importance of the country's defense infrastructure in shaping future security measures.
