UK prime minister — on trip to Kyiv — says his country will ‘play our part’ in supporting peace when it comes.
KYIV — U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer signaled he would be ready to consider sending British forces to Ukraine to help “guarantee” the peace when the war eventually comes to a halt.
Britain will “play our part” in supporting the peace when it eventually comes, Starmer told reporters when asked about the idea after holding talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv on Thursday.
Zelenskyy said he had been discussing the question of an international peacekeeping force with Poland, France, and the U.K.
But he added that it was still too early to set out any details as it would be critical to hold talks with Donald Trump’s incoming U.S. administration.
There could be no peace for Ukraine without America, Zelenskyy added.
