Britain and France have been in talks about sending peacekeeping troops to Ukraine. Sir Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron have discussed sending British and French troops as a peacekeeping force after any potential deal to end the war.
According to the Telegraph: Press spokesmen for Downing Street and the Elysee Palace did not dispute that Sir Keir and Mr Macron discussed the possibility during their meeting at Chequers last week.
Details of the conversations are being kept under wraps by officials in London and Paris. However, multiple well-placed British government sources have stressed Sir Keir is not yet fully signed up.
One Whitehall source told The Telegraph, there are challenges over what we could support, what would we want to support, and the broader question about the threat that those troops may be under and whether that is escalatory.
The proposal comes as European leaders scramble to work out how to continue supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty as president-elect Donald Trump pushes for Kyiv to strike a peace deal with Russia.
Last week Russia rejected the idea of NATO countries sending peacekeepers to Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire in the war with Russia saying such a move would threaten to cause an uncontrollable escalation.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned the idea was totally unacceptable to Russia.
Russian intelligence claims that the idea is really a ploy to occupy Ukraine, and that NATO has plans to deploy 100,000 peacekeeping troops to the country….a dangerous move that threatens a direct war with Russia.
WEF leader and EU Commission Vice President Kaja Kallas has said that the global elite are planning to break Russia up into smaller nations to neutralize the threat they pose to the global order.

NATO wants a big war with Russia. Linsey Graham was caught on video talking to Ukrainian generals in 2014 telling them we have a big war planned with Russia. Tucker showed this video but nothing has been done to Graham. That ugly warmonger John McCain was standing right beside his side kick,
Just like Donnchadh explained in an earlier article comment !
When they call them “peace keepers” you know it’s the opposite. Research what these UN cretins are guilty of – rapes, theft, destruction, murder & more. No country should ever allow any UN group to operate within their borders; their people aren’t safe if they are there. Putin is right about this, too.
NATO is a complete joke.
