Ukraine: Peacekeeping Operations

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions he has has with his US counterpart on a security guarantee in the event of a UK peacekeeping or reassurance force in Ukraine.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The Defence Secretary regularly speaks with his US and international counterparts, including on our collective support to Ukraine’s armed forces.

The UK, along with a number of allies and partners, held further discussions this week at the Permanent Joint Headquarters to consider in detail how best to ensure Ukraine can defend itself from future Russian aggression. We will continue to keep the US informed on that planning process.
