UK PM Starmer calls for US security guarantee for Ukraine and offers peacekeeping troops

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that a U.S. security guarantee is essential for lasting peace in Ukraine. He emphasized the need for increased European defense spending and responsibility following a meeting of European leaders in Paris. Starmer also became the first European leader to express readiness to deploy British peacekeeping troops in Ukraine. He noted that discussions about troop numbers and roles are still in early stages. Starmer plans to meet U.S. President Donald Trump next week to discuss the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and expects further talks with European leaders afterward.
