British senior army officials, including Brig Andy Watson, have expressed confidence that UK troops are ready to serve as peacekeepers in Ukraine if required. During a recent statement near the Ukrainian border, Watson emphasized the readiness of NATO's Allied Reaction Force, highlighting their extensive training and resources. Lt Col Harry Waller confirmed that the reaction force is equipped to respond rapidly. Additionally, among military personnel, there is an anticipation of increased recruitment interest due to the potential involvement in peacekeeping missions, akin to trends observed during previous conflicts.
"Our job here is to provide options to ministers. I can't comment on what the force package would look like inside Ukraine, but... we're part of a well-resourced coalition."
"The reaction force here are absolutely ready and we'll always present our commanders with options. We're able to project at pace and we are ready."
