Summary

A "significant number" of countries are willing to provide peacekeeping troops in Ukraine if a peace deal with Russia is reached, according to a spokesperson for British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Britain and France are leading efforts to create a "coalition of the willing" involving over 30 countries, as Trump pursues peace talks with Russia. Russia has rejected the idea of NATO soldiers in Ukraine.

When questioned about Russia's objections, Starmer's spokesperson noted that "Russia didn't ask Ukraine when it deployed North Korean troops to the frontline last year."

I fucking hope so. Putin would take over the world if he could so we need to back Ukraine for our own sake.

Somewhat hyperbolic but I definitely agree that if NATO wasn't in the way he'd happily reclaim USSR territory.

Just about any nation would take over the world if they could.

Darn you, Liechtenstein!!

Probably. Putin is psycho enough to do it though

Well, that's what it's going to take.

We can't just funnel money to the MIC all day and expect things to work out. People need to be willing to die for what they believe in.

Why the wait to send in peackeepers. Russia shore did not (if im not mistaken they initially called their troop buildup peacekeepers). Would be ironic if the uk and eu ended up defending ukraine with troops given both the us and russia signed a treaty saying they would. I mean russias a backstabber but the us is the person who said they would help and did not (I know we did some stuff but given the treaty we signed we should have stopped the annexation of crimea)

If you are referring to the Budapest Memorandum, the UK signed that as well.

oh. yeah so not really any better than the us although future action looks like it might be better.
