On Thursday, the UK will host a confidential meeting of senior military officers from the “coalition of the willing” to discuss plans for a possible peacekeeping mission in Ukraine. More than 20 countries are believed to be participating.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is anticipated to attend on Thursday afternoon after first visiting Barrow, where he will lay the keel for one of Britain’s new generation of nuclear submarines. Plans for a Western-led peacekeeping force in Ukraine are thought to be entering the operational phase.
Senior military leaders from the “coalition of the willing,” led by Britain and France, are expected to debate how this might operate in practice when they meet at the UK’s Permanent Joint Headquarters in Northwood. Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard stated that the coalition should be a “credible force” that will allow Ukraine to “enjoy a lasting peace” as well as “reconstitute and rearm.
“[Vladimir] Putin will not stop if he triumphs in Ukraine. If he subjugates all of Ukraine, as he has for many years, he will just rearm and look for new ways to extend his influence and dominion,” he told BBC Breakfast.
