The Liberal Democrats are calling for the UK Parliament to be recalled to discuss sending peacekeepers to Ukraine. Party leader Ed Davey emphasizes the need for parliamentary scrutiny of Labour leader Keir Starmer's plan, which has faced mixed reactions in Europe. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz criticized the idea of sending troops before a peace agreement is reached. Meanwhile, the UK defense chief stated that any peacekeeping mission would require U.S. support, complicating the situation as Russia and the U.S. negotiate a potential deal. Starmer plans to meet with European leaders in the UK after his upcoming meeting with Donald Trump in Washington, D.C. The discussions aim to address the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the role of European nations in providing support.
