Keir Starmer calls for US security guarantee in Ukraine peacekeeping efforts

express.co.uk

Keir Starmer has called for the U.S. to provide a security guarantee if British troops are deployed in Ukraine as part of a peacekeeping force. This demand follows emergency talks in Paris with European leaders about the ongoing war. Starmer emphasized the need for Europe to take responsibility for its security. However, Germany and Poland have expressed reluctance to support the peacekeeping mission, complicating the proposal. Other nations, including Italy and Norway, remain undecided. The U.S. has begun bilateral talks with Russia without European involvement, raising concerns among European leaders. Starmer plans to meet Donald Trump next week to discuss U.S. defense commitments in Europe amid these developments.
