UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has stated he is prepared to send British troops to Ukraine as part of a peacekeeping deal, acknowledging the risks if Russia attacks again.

This marks the first time he has openly considered such a move.

His comments come ahead of emergency talks with European leaders on fears of reduced US defense commitments.

The UK has pledged £3bn annually to Ukraine until 2030 and may contribute to security guarantees.

Military leaders warn current defense budgets are insufficient, while Labour plans to raise spending to 2.5% of GDP, The Guardian has reported.

Starmer insists Ukraine must be included in any peace negotiations.
