Starmer calls for US security guarantee as key to peace in Ukraine

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that a US security guarantee is essential for lasting peace in Ukraine. He made this remark after an emergency summit in Paris, where European leaders discussed the ongoing conflict and potential peacekeeping efforts. Starmer expressed willingness to consider deploying British forces if a peace agreement is reached, emphasizing the need for US involvement to deter further Russian aggression. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, however, cautioned that discussions about peacekeeping troops are premature. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reiterated that any peace deal must include Ukraine's participation and robust security guarantees. He highlighted the importance of ongoing communication with European leaders regarding security arrangements.
