The Prime Minister of large Britain stated before the extraordinary summit in Paris that ensuring lasting peace in Ukraine is "necessary if we want to halt Putin from further aggression in the future." The UK is ready to contribute to the safety warrant for Ukraine, "by sending its own troops to the site, if necessary," he added.
— I'm not saying this lightly, he said. “I feel very profoundly the work that involves possibly exposing British soldiers and soldiers to danger,” he added. Starmer confirmed that Ukraine's way to NATO membership is "irreversible", and European countries "must increase defence spending and play a greater role" in the alliance.
Bitter words from erstwhile army commander
The Prime Minister of Britain is convinced that "peace cannot come at all costs" and "Ukraine must sit at table in these negotiations due to the fact that anything else would mean accepting Putin's position that Ukraine is not a real nation".
British troops could be deployed alongside soldiers from another European countries along the border between Ukraine-controlled territory and Russia-controlled territory, adds the regular Telegraph.
The PM's message came after the erstwhile army chief, Lord Dannatt, told the BBC that The British military is so exhausted that it will not be able to carry out any future peacekeeping mission in Ukraine.
Lord Dannatt, who was chief of the army from 2006 to 2009, told the BBC that up to 100,000 soldiers would be needed for a peace mission in Ukraine, including any 40,000 from the UK, and “we just don’t have that number”, he added.
