Ukraine: Peace Keeping Operations

Asked by Rebecca PaulConservativeMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 20 March 2025UIN 38309

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate his Department has made of the number of UK troops that could be safely deployed in a peacekeeping capacity to Ukraine without abridging other defence and security commitments.

Answered by Luke Pollard

Discussions regarding how our military can support security guarantees for Ukraine’s future are ongoing.

I hope the hon. Member will understand that I can’t comment on operational details at this stage as revealing our force structure only helps Putin.
