Ukraine: Peacekeeping Operations

Asked by James CartlidgeConservativeMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 7 February 2025UIN 26306

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will hold discussions with the Prime Minister on sending British troops to Ukraine in peacekeeping roles.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The Defence Secretary has regular discussions with the Prime Minister about UK support to Ukraine.

It would be inappropriate to comment further on speculation about the future. Our focus is on putting Ukraine in the strongest possible position in 2025 and supporting Ukraine's defence against Putin’s full scale invasion. It would be inappropriate to speculate about the content of those discussions. However, the Prime Minister remains committed to putting Ukraine in the strongest possible position through 2025.
