UK MPs may vote on peacekeeping troops for Ukraine, minister says

UK Cabinet Minister Heidi Alexander stated that Members of Parliament (MPs) will likely vote on sending peacekeeping troops to Ukraine. This follows Labour leader Keir Starmer's willingness to deploy forces if a peace deal is reached. This marks the first time a UK prime minister has expressed readiness to send troops to Ukraine. MPs from various parties have called for a vote, citing concerns over defense funding and European support. Alexander emphasized that any troop deployment would typically require parliamentary consultation. She noted the importance of working with allies, particularly the US, in any security arrangements for Ukraine.
