European nations and the UK are ramping up plans for a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine, galvanizing a coalition of over 30 countries, despite uncertainties surrounding U.S. involvement. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has warned that Russian President Putin would breach any peace deal if Ukraine is not adequately defended, issuing stern warnings of severe consequences should diplomatic efforts fail. As military leaders convene to discuss logistics and operational plans for the proposed force, Starmer has shifted the focus from ground troops to air and sea defense, stressing the necessity of a rapid reaction to any peace agreement. Amid ongoing negotiations, Starmer has remained resolute in urging allies to maintain pressure on Russia, as voices in Kyiv call for a renewed commitment to a ceasefire proposal.
