UK Considers Five-Year Troop Deployment to Ukraine
Discussions between the UK and France propose a five-year deployment of allied troops to Ukraine, primarily focused on training and rebuilding the Ukrainian armed forces to deter further Russian aggression. This European-led “reassurance force,” involving a phased withdrawal, would also contribute to securing Ukraine’s airspace and maritime areas. The plan aims to prevent future Russian attacks by providing crucial support and deterring further incursions. This initiative is part of a broader coalition effort to ensure Ukraine’s long-term security.
