On Thursday, Mr Sunak said: “Can I ask the minister if she agrees with me that in this new world, and in the event of any peace deal, that the United Kingdom and its European allies must lead in providing Ukraine military support and potentially military presence across land, air and sea, to give Ukraine confidence that any peace will endure?.
Opening the session, Ms Eagle had said to MPs: “Nato’s job is to put Ukraine in the strongest possible position for any talks, but there can be no negotiation about Ukraine without Ukraine being involved.
Mr Sunak said the UK should lead when it comes to military support for Ukraine, and a military presence would give the country confidence that peace will endure.
Former prime minister Rishi Sunak has urged the Government and its European allies to consider providing Ukraine with a “military presence across land, air and sea”, in the event of a peace deal.
Ms Eagle replied: “I don’t accept what (Mr MacCleary) said about being betrayed by our allies, the US secretary for defence has made it clear that he wants durable peace, and that is what he and the President are proceeding to try and obtain.”.
