UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has confirmed that London is prepared to play its full part in potential peacekeeping operations in Ukraine, although he currently sees no immediate prospects for such a mission.
Source European Pravda, citing Sky News Details Starmer was asked whether the UK would be ready to take part in any peace negotiations regarding Ukraine, including deploying British troops for peacekeeping purposes.
Quote Well, I dont want to get ahead of ourselves, but I have indicated that we will play our full part because this isnt just about sovereignty in Ukraine.
Its about what the impact is back in the United Kingdom and our values, our freedom, our democracy.
Because if Russia succeeds in this aggression, it will impact all of us for a very, very long time. Background In December 2024, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy acknowledged that the idea of a peacekeeping mission being deployed in Ukraine had been discussed during meetings in Brussels as one way of preventing another Russian attack, and said he had seen a positive response from some leaders.
Later, Zelenskyy stated that the deployment of European peacekeepers in Ukraine is a possibility and should not rule out the countrys eventual NATO membership.
