British personnel ready to arrive in Ukraine once fighting on hold: Government

  • Defence Secretary John Healey stated on BBC Radio 4 that the UK and allies are ready to deploy a reassurance force in Ukraine if a peace deal is reached.
  • This readiness follows earlier plans to deploy up to 30,000 troops, but recent reports indicate a scaled-back approach focusing on air patrols and training in western Ukraine.
  • Healey stated that more than 200 military experts representing 30 countries have collaborated with France to finalize comprehensive ceasefire plans and are ready to deploy immediately if needed.
  • Healey emphasized that the UK would help secure skies and seas with RAF jets and naval ships, while Starmer highlighted a "viable chance" of a truce and the importance of protecting Ukraine's territorial integrity.
  • Despite Moscow's firm opposition to NATO presence in Ukraine and some European states rejecting troop deployments, the coalition's efforts signal sustained support for Ukraine amid intensifying diplomatic talks.
