Ukraine: Peacekeeping Operations

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the UK has adequate military resources for a sustained presence in Ukraine.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The UK is ready and willing to contribute to security guarantees to Ukraine by putting our own troops on the ground if necessary.

I hope the hon. Gentleman will understand that I cannot go into any further details at this stage but can say that our focus is on ensuring Ukraine is in as strong a position as possible. When, how and on what terms this war comes to an end can only be decided by negotiations with Ukraine at the heart of them.
