Kremlin expresses concern over Keir Starmer's peacekeeping plan for Ukraine

The Kremlin has expressed concern over Keir Starmer's proposal for a European peacekeeping force in Ukraine, which may include British troops. This follows a lack of firm security guarantees from the U.S. for Ukraine. Starmer's plan aims to enhance security in Europe and prevent further Russian aggression. He has indicated that the UK is prepared to lead this initiative, while France's Macron supports it, and Germany's Scholz has shown skepticism. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov noted that foreign troops in Ukraine would raise concerns for Russia. He mentioned that substantive discussions on peacekeeping forces have not yet occurred. Starmer is scheduled to meet Donald Trump next week amid rising international tensions.
