Starmer expresses readiness to deploy UK peacekeeping troops to Ukraine

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has stated he is prepared to deploy British peacekeeping troops to Ukraine if a peace deal is reached to end the conflict with Russia. This marks the first time a UK prime minister has made such a commitment. Starmer emphasized the UK's readiness to support Ukraine's military and contribute to security guarantees. He highlighted the importance of ensuring that any peace is lasting and not a temporary pause in hostilities. The announcement comes amid concerns about the UK's defense funding and as Starmer prepares for an emergency summit with European leaders in Paris. He aims to strengthen a united response to potential future Russian aggression.
