Keir Starmer pledges British troops for peacekeeping mission in Ukraine

Keir Starmer has pledged to send British troops for a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine, surprising military leaders. This announcement follows Donald Trump's return to the White House and his push for Europe to take more responsibility for its security. Military experts express concern over the feasibility of Starmer's commitment, citing years of underfunding that have weakened Britain's armed forces. They question the lack of a clear plan for such a deployment. Other European leaders, including Germany's Olaf Scholz, are hesitant about peacekeeping while the conflict continues. Starmer is set to meet Trump soon, where he may face pressure regarding his military promises.
