The UK is on the brink of escalating its involvement in the Ukraine conflict as Sir Keir Starmer proposes sending British troops as peacekeepers. This move raises concerns of 'mission creep,' with Russian officials warning that such actions would constitute direct engagement in the war. The UK government's plan to implement a 'sky shield' using a fleet of 120 fighter jets, which operates independently from NATO's command, aims to provide defensive support against Russian attacks. This strategy is projected to have significant military and political benefits, emphasizing the UK's commitment to supporting Ukraine without an outright ground warfare engagement.
