Britain is considering deploying troops to Ukraine for five years, according to The Telegraph

The Telegraph claims that Britain is thinking about sending troops to Ukraine as a component of a peacekeeping mission commanded by Europe.

A story published by The Telegraph on Friday said that Britain is considering sending troops to Ukraine as part of a European-led peacekeeping force. The concept, according to people familiar with the talks, could see British troops stationed in Ukraine for a maximum of five years with the goal of bringing stability throughout the post-conflict era.

Deterring any possible Russian aggression after a peace deal is reached and giving Ukraine’s own military forces much-needed support and rest are the main objectives of this planned army. As Ukraine’s supporters seek to strengthen the nation’s stance in the case of a settlement with Russia, this notion is one of several possible solutions under discussion.

Earlier in March, a spokesman for British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that many nations have announced their intention to send peacekeeping forces to Ukraine. A peace agreement, if one is reached, would include this as part of a larger plan to keep things under control and stop things from getting worse.

The international community is trying to make sure that any final settlement to the Russia-Ukraine conflict is stable and long-lasting, and as long as the situation is unstable, talks on the peacekeeping mission will continue.
