Political reactions to sending British soldiers to Ukraine as the British prime minister stresses that “Europe must do more for its security”.

Response from London

Everything in the global political scene seems fragile. Extraordinary meetings, leader meetings, discussions behind closed doors. Britain could not be in this tense climate, as it has taken on a difficult diplomatic role between Europe and the United States.

But British Prime Minister Sir Kir Starmer was clear about his aspirations in relation to Ukraine, which he also made clear at the extraordinary meeting of European leaders in Paris, where he himself attended.

“Europe has to do more to protect the continent,” he said, adding that “Britain will take on leadership responsibility, as it always does.” His statements are in full harmony with his intention to employ peacekeeping forces of British soldiers If a peace agreement is reached between Ukraine and Russia.

Kir Starmer has stated that troops will be in the context of a broader international aid to policing borders between territories controlled by Ukraine and Russia.

The German Chancellor Allaf Solts said, however, that this was “completely early”. Other European leaders had a similar attitude – and according to government sources citing the BBC, “the difference between the leaders’ opinions is not surprised, as” not every nation is ready to show its intentions now. “

In favor of sending British soldiers 58% of citizens

However, there are reactions inside, as the British Parliament has stopped its work until February 23, and until February 23. For example, Lib Dames, Ed Davi, called for an extraordinary meeting of the House to discuss Ukraine’s defense plans.

According to a Yougov poll, it seems that Kir Starmer’s intentions are also supported by British citizens, with 58% in favor and only 21% against.

The interval until next week is crucial, when the long -awaited Kir Starmer and Donald Trump meeting is expected, the first since Trump officially took over the leadership.

As the British Prime Minister has made clear yesterday, any peace agreement and if achieved he must have ‘US Security Vending’which will prevent Russia from attacking again. Although he did not explain exactly what this means, his allies said he might include air support, information services and transport networks.

At the same time, Starmer promised European allies that he would discuss the “key points” of such an agreement in his meeting with President Trump.
