UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer emphasized the critical need for security arrangements in any peace deal with Ukraine during a meeting of military leaders in London. He warned that without such arrangements, any agreement would likely be breached by Russia, referencing prior instances of this happening. Starmer indicated a shift from political discussions to military planning to prepare for troop deployments aimed at ensuring Ukraine's security. He ruled out redeploying UK troops from other commitments, underscoring the importance of maintaining military commitments while engaging in planning for a supportive presence in Ukraine.
It is vitally important we do that work because we know one thing for certain, which is a deal without anything behind it is something that Putin will breach.
Security arrangements would make clear to Russia there would be severe consequences if they are to breach any deal.
We know that because it happened before. I'm absolutely clear in my mind it will happen again.
There's no pulling back from our commitments to other countries.
