On Sunday, Prime Minister Keir Starmer proposed the deployment of British troops to Ukraine as part of efforts to ensure the country's security in any potential peace deal. This marked his first public consideration of troop deployment. His remarks came ahead of a crucial emergency meeting of European leaders to respond to President Trump's negotiations with Russia, which appeared to exclude Europe and Ukraine. Starmer emphasized the importance of preventing a transient peace that could lead to further Russian aggression, underscoring the critical need to safeguard Ukraine's sovereignty.
In securing a lasting peace for Ukraine, it is essential that we deter Vladimir Putin from further aggression, hence the consideration of British troops is not taken lightly.
Mr. Starmer emphasized that any peace deal must guarantee Ukraine's sovereignty and security, preventing a mere pause in hostilities that would enable further Russian attacks.
