European Nations Consider Troop Deployment and Air Support for Ukraine Amid Ongoing Conflict
European countries, led by the UK and France, are actively exploring plans to send troops to Ukraine as part of a peacekeeping mission, seeking US support to bolster security in the region. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has proposed deploying a significant number of soldiers, raising discussions about a potential 30,000-strong European force to manage post-war security. Meanwhile, military strategies have included the offer of air support, with the UK considering the mobilization of Typhoon fighter jets to oversee Ukrainian airspace. However, the European bloc is facing internal disagreements regarding troop deployments, with some nations like Germany expressing concerns over the implications of immediate military involvement. As negotiations continue, there are calls for clarity on the role British troops might play in this evolving security landscape.
