Downing Street announced that over 30 countries are prepared to join a 'coalition of the willing' to enforce a peace deal in Ukraine, with ground forces and logistical support. While Russia has condemned this move, raising concerns over a potential escalation of conflict, UK officials, including Prime Minister's spokesman and Sir Keir Starmer, have highlighted the necessity of robust international support, including a U.S. security guarantee, for successful peacekeeping efforts. Operational discussions about troop deployments continue amid complexities of military engagement rules against Russian forces.
The Prime Minister said over the weekend, there's going to be different capabilities from different countries, but these are now the operational discussions that are ongoing in relation to what the coalition of the willing will be able to provide.
Russia has rejected this proposal warning it could lead to a wider war, but Sir Keir Starmer's spokesman said Moscow didn't ask Ukraine when it deployed North Korean troops to the battlefields.
Starmer will deploy British troops to Ukraine for 'as long as it takes' and emphasized the need for a secure and lasting peace with US backing.
The PM believes an American security guarantee is needed for the European led peacekeeping army, marking the operational discussions that are ongoing.
