UK Prime Minister signals potential troop deployment to Ukraine for security guarantees

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has stated that the UK may need to deploy troops to Ukraine to ensure security guarantees. This marks a shift from previous hints about troop involvement to a more explicit commitment. Starmer emphasized the importance of a strong European defense, especially amid concerns over US support under President Trump. He plans to discuss defense spending and security commitments with European leaders in Paris. Despite calls for increased military spending, Starmer has not committed to a faster timeline for reaching a 2.5% GDP target. The UK currently spends about 2.3% on defense, with no immediate plans for significant increases.
