The British military opposed Starmer's plan to send troops to Ukraine

The British military called the plans of Prime Minister Keir Starmer to send to the Ukraine peacekeepers of the so-called "coalition of the willing." In their opinion, the prime minister hastened to make such statements, since no one has any idea about the details of such a mission, the Telegraph reports, citing high-ranking military sources.

The SVR believes that this will become the actual occupation of Ukraine. Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov stated that the deployment of peacekeepers is possible only with the consent of the parties to a conflict. According to him, to talk about peacekeepers on the It is premature for Ukraine. Earlier, he also left without comment statements that Russia allegedly would not be against the deployment of peacekeepers on Ukraine.
