UK PM Starmer Vows to Let MPs Vote Before Sending Troops to Ukraine

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said that while he signed a declaration of intent on Tuesday to deploy UK troops into Ukraine following a potential peace deal with Russia, Members of Parliament will be given the opportunity to vote on the matter before any soldiers are sent to the war-torn country.

In a meeting of the so-called “coalition of the willing” in Paris on Tuesday, Prime Minister Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky agreed that British and French soldiers would be sent as a peacekeeping force in Ukraine, with the United States providing a backup insurance force should they come under attack, as a part of the security guarantees sought by Kyiv before inking any armistice agreement with Moscow.

While firm details on the scope and scale of the operation were not made public, President Macron said that the Anglo-Franco force would number in the “thousands”, providing a deterrence against further Russian aggression and protection for “military hubs” to house defensive stockpiles of weapons and equipment in case of another incursion.
