In response to escalating concerns over Russia’s potential aggression, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced the UK’s readiness to deploy peacekeeping troops to Ukraine. This move underscores the international community’s resolve to support Ukraine and deter further Russian advances. Starmer emphasized the necessity of providing robust security guarantees to Ukraine, stating that the UK’s commitment includes contributing troops to uphold any peace agreement reached.
This announcement comes as European leaders convene in Paris for emergency talks, aiming to present a unified front in support of Ukraine. The discussions are particularly critical given recent developments where the United States and Russia have initiated negotiations excluding both Ukraine and European allies. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed strong objections to being sidelined, asserting that any agreements made without Ukraine’s involvement undermine the nation’s sovereignty and the legitimacy of the peace process
Critics argue that excluding Ukraine from these pivotal discussions not only marginalizes the country but also raises doubts about the sincerity and effectiveness of the negotiations.
