UK Considers Deploying Troops to Ukraine for Five Years

According to the plan under discussion in London and Paris, Western forces may be sent to Ukraine following a settlement of the conflict, acting as a "deterrent force" purportedly to prevent the resumption of hostilities

LONDON, April 11. /TASS/. The United Kingdom is considering the possibility of deploying troops to Ukrainian territory for a period of up to five years, pending the country’s remilitarization, The Daily Telegraph reported citing sources.

According to the plan under discussion in London and Paris, Western forces may be sent to Ukraine following a settlement of the conflict, acting as a "deterrent force" purportedly to prevent the resumption of hostilities.

The publication noted, "French military planners have argued that it is highly unlikely Putin would sanction another attack with Western forces inside Ukraine when his troops are only capable of seizing small amounts of territory".

The newspaper reported that the eventual withdrawal of Western troops would take place gradually, in line with the restoration of Ukraine’s military capabilities. The Daily Telegraph added that, in addition to the deployment of ground troops, the "coalition of the willing" led by London and Paris also intends to provide protection for Ukraine’s air and maritime space. On April 10, a meeting of defense ministers from countries willing to participate in a post-conflict Western military mission in Ukraine took place at NATO headquarters in Brussels.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated on March 12 that the presence of NATO troops on Ukrainian soil - under any flag and in any capacity - would constitute a threat to Russia. According to him, Russia will not accept such a scenario under any circumstances.

I’d guess the UK is sending only white males.

Well of course because all those young Paki men need wives. Got to get native British men out of the way for the new, multicultural paradise.

The Keir Starmer Brigade sounds like a good name but of course Sir Keir should lead the charge of this ‘light brigade’ named in his honor.

Keir Starmer

His name sounds like a Star Wars villain.

Since the UK lacks well, everything, to guarantee anything. What would be the point other than egging on the war.

Starmer once headed the Crown Prosecution Service was the UK’s top criminal prosecutor.

In retrospect he helped to redefine in a leftist way what constitutes a ‘crime’ in the UK IMHO.

Just like an Eric Holder or Merrick Garland - lawfare is how both the EU and US deep-states attempt to keep control

This will be Starmer’s tar baby. Here’s hoping you can depend on your EU masters to help fund it and conscript your young men and women in Europe as missile and drone fodder.

The UK doesn’t want this war to end and is trying to scuttle the peace negotiations. Wonder why?

Where are they getting the troops? They don’t have even 50,000 front line troops in the whole country.
