Ukraine: Peacekeeping Operations

Asked by James CartlidgeConservativeMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 2 April 2025UIN 41215

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether a UK peacekeeping or reassurance force in Ukraine would in principle cover (a) land, (b) sea, (c) air, (d) space and (e) cyber domains.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The Prime Minister has been clear that we must all come together to support Ukraine to remain in the fight and back US efforts to make real progress to ensure Ukraine can defend itself from future Russian aggression.

Planning so far has looked across the full range of European military capabilities including aircraft, tanks, troops, intelligence and logistics capabilities – and discussions have centred on how European nations can contribute their own capabilities to support any future force.

Discussions continue around military planning of air, sea and land forces that would be required to support a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.
