The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he has had discussions with Cabinet colleagues on the potential deployment of a European peacekeeping force to Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

The Foreign Secretary is in close contact with his Cabinet colleagues. 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 in the future if necessary. Until then, we remain focused on putting Ukraine in the strongest possible position.
