Have your say: Russia condemned Keir Starmer’s latest plan as ‘unacceptable,’ warning that any Nato troops in Ukraine would be seen as a ‘direct threat’.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the plan “unacceptable” for Moscow, while Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned that any Nato troops in Ukraine would be a “direct threat,” regardless of their banner.
Sir Keir Starmer is reportedly set to propose deploying British troops to Ukraine as part of a 30,000-strong European “reassurance force” during his meeting with Donald Trump in Washington, D.C., next week.
News of Sir Keir Starmer’s plans comes amid rising concerns about Britain’s military readiness, with some suggesting the reintroduction of conscription.
The plan, developed with France, would station troops in key locations such as cities, ports, and nuclear sites – but not near the frontlines.
