The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he has had recent discussions with the French ambassador on a European peacekeeping force in Ukraine.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

We are in close touch with our European partners, including France, to help defend Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. As the Prime Minister has said, the UK is ready to play a leading role in accelerating work on security guarantees for Ukraine, including being ready and willing to contribute to security guarantees to Ukraine by putting our own troops on the ground if necessary.
