Summary

A “significant number” of countries are willing to provide peacekeeping troops in Ukraine if a peace deal with Russia is reached, according to a spokesperson for British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Britain and France are leading efforts to create a “coalition of the willing” involving over 30 countries, as Trump pursues peace talks with Russia. Russia has rejected the idea of NATO soldiers in Ukraine.

When questioned about Russia’s objections, Starmer’s spokesperson noted that “Russia didn’t ask Ukraine when it deployed North Korean troops to the frontline last year.”
