Starmer: I’m ready to put British troops in Ukraine
Geplaatst: 16 feb 2025 23:56
Sir Keir Starmer will announce on Monday that he is willing to put British troops on the ground to enforce any peace deal.
In an exclusive article for The Telegraph, the Prime Minister said he had not taken the decision to consider putting British servicemen and women “in harm’s way” lightly.
It is the first time he has explicitly said he is considering deploying British peacekeepers to Ukraine, and comes ahead of a meeting with European leaders in Paris on Monday.
The emergency gathering was called by Emmanuel Macron, the French president, after it emerged that European leaders had not been invited to early Ukraine peace talks between the US and Russia, and senior members of Donald Trump’s administration signalled that US security support for Europe would be scaled back.
