Starmer proposes sending British peacekeeping troops to Ukraine to bolster European security

independent.co.uk

Keir Starmer has proposed sending British peacekeeping troops to Ukraine, responding to reduced U.S. support for the country. He emphasized the importance of Ukraine's security for Europe and suggested that a U.S. security guarantee is essential to deter Russia. Starmer's offer highlights concerns about a potential peace deal that may favor Russia. Critics argue that a peacekeeping force would require significantly more resources than the UK can provide, and that Europe lacks the industrial capacity to support such a mission. The proposal has sparked discussions among European leaders about increasing military support for Ukraine. Some, like Denmark's Prime Minister, advocate for arming Ukraine more effectively to ensure it can defend itself against Russian aggression.
