UK MPs may vote on peacekeeping troops for Ukraine as US and Russia hold talks

UK ministers indicate that Members of Parliament may vote on sending British peacekeeping troops to Ukraine. This follows discussions between US and Russian officials aimed at ending the ongoing conflict. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander stated that a parliamentary vote is standard practice for troop deployments. Sir Keir Starmer has expressed readiness to send forces if the war concludes, positioning the UK as a leader in peacekeeping efforts. Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz called the peacekeeping discussions "premature," while emphasizing Ukraine's involvement in peace talks. Starmer plans to meet with US President Trump next week to discuss various issues, including the Ukraine conflict.
