The British government is ready to deploy peacekeepers to Ukraine to ensure the implementation of any peace agreement.
The Telegraph reported on this with reference to the words of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Sir Keir Starmer.
During the interview, he said that it was very difficult for him to make that decision, as sending British troops into harm’s way cannot be a light decision.
In addition, this was the first statement by the Prime Minister when he explicitly stated that he was considering the deployment of the British peacekeepers to Ukraine.
This statement was made on the eve of an emergency meeting convened by French President Emmanuel Macron with European leaders in Paris on February 17, 2025.
According to the Prime Minister, his direct statement about his readiness to send British peacekeepers to Ukraine should put some pressure on NATO allies, especially Germany, to publicly support the idea of creating a European peacekeeping force in Ukraine.
The Prime Minister also suggested that the UK could play a “unique role” as a bridge between Europe and the US in the peace process for Ukraine. During the interview, Sir Keir Starmer emphasized that the UK would continue to support Ukraine and seek a fair peace for the country, along with comprehensive support.
“The UK is ready to play a leading role in accelerating work on security guarantees for Ukraine. This includes continued support for the Ukrainian Armed Forces – the UK has already committed £3 billion a year until at least 2030,” the Prime Minister said.
It remains unclear what the European-led peacekeeping force in Ukraine will look like. According to The Telegraph, these forces are likely to be deployed away from the front line, which should be one of the points in the future peace agreement.
It is worth noting that there is more and more talk among European leaders about sending peacekeepers to Ukraine, as the country’s politics is becoming more unpredictable with the arrival of the U.S. President.
In addition, the publication notes that Trump will never support sending American peacekeepers to Ukraine to maintain peace.
As previously reported, Italy is ready to send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine as part of the resolution of the conflict.
