Sir Keir Starmer told Sky News today in an exclusive interview that allies are actively discussing a European force along the borders to police the peace - all but confirming Britain would play a role.
The war in Ukraine has ground on for nearly three years. From the start, Western allies have stood in solidarity with Kyiv. The US has poured tens of billions in military aid into the war, while leaders across Europe have vowed to stand with Volodymyr Zelenskyy for as long as it takes to defeat Vladimir Putin on the battlefield.
He said: 'We've been discussing this with a number of allies, including, of course, President Macron, including President Zelenskyy here today, and we will play our full part. 'We have always been one of the leading countries in relation to the defence of Ukraine. And so you can read into that. But we will be playing our full part. 'I don't want to get ahead of ourselves because this has to be enduring. It has to be lasting.
