"Peace is possible, and if President Trump can broker a peace, then we will be ready to help secure that peace for the long term. That requires us to invest and prepare our forces to be ready to deploy. Keir Starmer has said, if necessary, he's willing to see UK boots on the ground in Ukraine, and I've accelerated already millions of pounds in that preparation for any possible deployment in the event of peace. And I would expect the cost of that to be well over £100 million."
"We must be resolute in our support for Ukraine and I'm committed to intensifying our efforts to cripple Putin's war machine. Russia's stalling tactics have shown time and time again that Ukraine is the only party serious about peace. We can all see that Putin is not and he continues to choose violence and destruction. Tyrants like Putin only respond to strength. We must ramp up the pressure on his economy and defence industry, as we did last week with a major package of sanctions until he's ready to make peace. As winter approaches we will continue to step up our support, humanitarian, financial and military, so"
Deployment planning is underway for UK peace troops to Ukraine with coalition European partners, covering entry and package costs and RAF aircraft deployment. The investment and preparation already include accelerated millions of pounds to ensure forces are ready to deploy if peace is brokered. The projected cost of deploying and sustaining forces is expected to exceed £100 million. The Prime Minister is calling on allies to cripple Putin’s war machine through economic measures. Pressure on Russia’s economy and defence industry will be increased alongside stepped-up humanitarian, financial and military support for Ukraine as winter approaches.
