The UK's Defence Secretary has said that Britain is willing to “put boots on the ground” to help enforce a ceasefire in Ukraine, in the event that one is agreed. Defence Secretary John Healey has commented the peace summit today in Alaska "could be the first step" towards peace in the Ukraine conflict.
The minister also stated the government was prepared to "step up economic sanctions and pressure on Putin if he shows today in Alaska he really isn't serious". The Defence Secretary has affirmed the UK will continue to stand by Ukraine during these peace talks and has said: “The UK's role is to stand with Ukraine on the battlefield and in the negotiations, and prepare as we have been, leading 30 other nations with military planning for a ceasefire and a secure peace through what we call the coalition of the willing."
Healey elaborated more than 200 military planners from the coalition had been working over the last few months "doing detailed planning for the point of a ceasefire". He explained that multi-national forces were "ready to act from day one" adding: "The military plans are complete."

Put boots on the ground in London.
Modal verbs. Part of the "...more than 200 military planners from the coalition had been working over the last few months 'doing detailed planning for the point of a ceasefire'. He explained that multi-national forces were 'ready to act from day one' adding: 'The military plans are complete'."
And "could be."
This is not new. This has been said often of late.
The key is — only after a ceasefire that assures their troops will not be attacked.
It’s a way to sound bold and hope no one hears the 2nd part.
Oh Mr. Starmer! Don’t forget your 2 working Main Battle Tanks!! …and all the Transgender soldiers!!!
...deja vu all over again.
I’m hearing the cartoon character, “Lemme at ‘em! Lemme at ‘em! I’ll murdelize ‘em!”
Discussions over sending European troops to Ukraine reignited
“It’s the Charge of the Light Brigade!”
How far Britain has fallen..
They could not transport a full combat brigade to Ukraine and sustain it without US help.
UK Defense Secretary John Healey: “Hmm...the Russians are freaked out over the idea of NATO troops on their doorstep. Stationing NATO troops on their doorstep sounds like an idea they would accept...”
Is this man trying to rope-a-dope Russia with ideas so idiotic that they just give up?
More like “Pants on the Ground”.
Have at it. I’ll make some popcorn.
Will there be feet in those boots?
This is intended to blow up the Trump Putin meeting.
Looks like Starman is getting nervous.
