UK offers to send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine ahead of Paris talks

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has offered to send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine, becoming the first European leader to do so. This commitment comes ahead of a Paris meeting focused on Europe's role in a potential ceasefire. Sweden's Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson also indicated a willingness to consider contributing to peacekeeping forces, contingent on progress in negotiations. The discussions in Paris will include leaders from several European nations and aim to establish security guarantees for Ukraine. The meeting follows a lack of cohesive plans from the EU regarding the Ukraine conflict. European officials emphasize the need for a more coordinated approach to collective security, especially as military resources are stretched thin.
