UK MPs may vote on deploying peace-keeping troops to Ukraine as Starmer leads diplomatic efforts

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 lead efforts in deploying forces if the conflict with Russia ends. Starmer's stance contrasts with other European leaders, like German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who consider such discussions premature. The UK emphasizes the need for Ukraine's involvement in peace talks, especially as negotiations occur without Ukrainian representation. Starmer plans to meet with US President Donald Trump next week to discuss the Ukraine situation and other trade issues. The UK government aims to strengthen ties with both the US and the EU amid ongoing tensions.
