Ukraine: Peacekeeping Operations
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the UK will have to divert troops from other (a) theatres and (b) operations to maintain a 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.
