Keir Starmer's Ukraine peace plan rejected by German Chancellor in Paris meeting
Keir Starmer's Ukraine peace plan faced rejection from German Chancellor Olaf Scholz during a meeting in Paris. Scholz called the proposal to deploy UK troops "completely premature" before leaving the talks early. Starmer had recently expressed willingness to send UK troops to Ukraine as part of a peace deal. His plan was met with criticism, with GB News editor Mark White labeling the situation "deeply embarrassing" for the Labour leader. The discussion on GB News highlighted concerns about the risks of committing troops to a volatile area. Starmer emphasized the UK's responsibility in ensuring Ukraine's security, linking it to the safety of Europe and the UK.
