UK MPs may soon vote on sending British peace-keeping troops to Ukraine, according to Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander. This follows Sir Keir Starmer's commitment to deploy forces if the conflict with Russia ends. Starmer's pledge positions the UK as a leader in peace-keeping efforts, while other European leaders, like Germany's Olaf Scholz, have been more cautious. Scholz called discussions on troop deployment "premature." The UK government emphasizes the need for Ukraine's involvement in peace talks. Starmer plans to discuss the situation with US President Trump next week, along with other trade and geopolitical issues.
