Starmer to present Ukraine peacekeeping plan to Trump during US visit

Sir Keir Starmer will present a peacekeeping plan to U.S. President Donald Trump next week. The plan involves sending fewer than 30,000 European troops to Ukraine, significantly less than the 200,000 requested by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The proposed "reassurance force" aims to monitor key areas in Ukraine without being near the frontline. It includes intelligence and surveillance aircraft, with U.S. support seen as essential to deter Russian aggression. The plan has drawn criticism from Russia, which views NATO troops in Ukraine as a direct threat. The U.S. administration's stance on Ukraine remains uncertain amid ongoing discussions about a ceasefire.
