Keir Starmer proposes sending UK troops to Ukraine for peacekeeping mission

UK opposition leader Keir Starmer has expressed readiness to send British troops to Ukraine for peacekeeping. This marks a significant shift, as it would be the first commitment of UK troops since Russia's invasion in 2022. Concerns are rising among European leaders about potential peace negotiations led by Donald Trump, which may allow Russia to retain occupied territory. Starmer emphasized the need for a strong position for Ukraine in any future peace agreement. The UK government has not confirmed troop numbers or logistics for a peacekeeping mission. Former military chief Lord Dannatt raised doubts about the UK's capacity for a long-term deployment.
