Britain is set to drop plans to send thousands of troops to protect Ukraine, as the risk is seen as too high.
Instead of guarding key cities, ports, and nuclear sites, the focus will shift to rebuilding and rearming Ukraine’s military, with support from air and sea.
British and French trainers will be sent to western Ukraine, but they won’t be near the front lines or provide direct protection.

If Starmer can come up with a better peace plan for ukraine and Russia, then let him solve it, BUT please dont critisize President Trump for the sake of it when Starmer cannot think of a better solution, keep your mouth shut Starmer!!! your the biggest fool in Europe by acting the hard man and saying, we will put boots on the grounnd in ukraine" to do a u-turn, the same as his slogan "smash the gangs" another useless statement by him, let Trump, Putin and zelensky sort it out, you Europeans dont do jackshit, your all talk, bedides Trump is doing the world a favour to bring the war to an end.
EU when Ukraine ask join them before this war started they didn’t give Ukraine a answer to let them join nato why , is it because it would cause more conflict with Russia, but just look at the innocent lives that’s been lost it’s terrible , war it’s terrible!!
The only deal trump is interested in is the mineral rights. He's a business man not a politician. 🇬🇧
UK politicians are warmongering war in Ukraine started by UK and USA God bless Russian and putin Joe Biden is a war criminals
Neutrality was written into the Ukrainian constitution. They had no problem changing that.
Ah bless his little cotton socks, Sir Queer hasn't got the balls to follow through on his hard man, ego-driven posturing.
Why are the EU and UK so intent on starting WWIII
Russia not wanting NATO forces in Ukraine is what started the war to begin with. There is zero chance that Russia will tolerate EU and UK forces in Ukraine. You people are going to end up starting world war III.
starmer intended to send troops he li about everything to keep all his euro mates happy
Crimea has a Russian submarine base there, thinking that Russia is going to just hand over its submarine base is delusional at best.
EU, UK, and Ukraine gifted Crimea to Russia in 2014 when they decided to do nothing to stop Russia from invading Crimea. Now 11 years later EU, UK, and Ukraine are trying to blame President Trump for Ukraine loosing Crimea.
US has bigger fish to deal with, like Iran and China.
America should not have orchestrated an illegal coup in 2014 and Western Ukraine should not have been shelling and killing its own people in the East for 8yrs before Russia went in. The people of Eastern Ukraine will be victorious with Russian help
too right stop sending our soldiers to fight other peoples wars this has happened for centuries and all the thanks we get is to be branded racists, people need to respect what the U.K has given the world i think it's abut time we asked for reparations from the entire world for the technological and medicinal leaps we have given them instead of leaching more money and sacrifice from us. sort your own country out we had no help from anyone and we 'were' doing okay until the world came to us again during covid-19 for vaccinations and have shafted us all over again
Coalition of the unwilling. Hahaha
UK gutless signs a deal for 100 tears of security with Ukraine then fails at the first hurdle Shame on Starmer!
What else does the US have it hasn't sent to Ukraine already?
Russia has won the war. Therefore Ukraine, as the obvious loser of the conflict, must concede to the winner. Therefore Ukraine and the idiots bleating on Ukraine's behalf, making ridiculous, unrealistic demands from Russia appear to be living in La-La Land. Russia, as the clear winner of the conflict, are the ones that decide the end game rules. It is what it is. Starmer, Zelensky, Macron etc, appear to be unable to grasp this simple fact. Narcissistic Drama Queens. Please Grow Up. Its over. Stop your cruel, pointless massacre.
Facts nato neonazis pansexual feminists Satanists wasted on kamala harris abortions pills mentally damaged everyday Russia lost already failed propaganda will never understand: crimea Odessa Nikolaev belongs to Russia before 1762 facts🤣🤣🤣🤣
As Starmer and his colliation of the willing hold summits, "Soldiers are leaving the British Armed Forces at a concerning rate" The Telegraph

I would like to know what the Americans can give Ukraine to win the war Mike they have already given everything from arilery to long range missiles and F16s and Abrams tanks they al! Failed and are destroyed as wouod be ghe case for any land army they send , no in that part of the World Russia have escalatory dominance as pointed pot by Barrak Obama
More lies from Starmer and Macron, do they think anyone actually believed we have the military capability. Add the fact no one is willing to fight for leaders of a country who hate their own indeginous population.
Watch Daniel Davis and Judge Napolitano
Well, well, well… A country LEAVES EU, now supports another country to JOIN EU. EVEN PROPOSING sending its citizens to fight and die to make sure the country joins it. Shouldn't UK firstly RETURN to EU?
British and French troops are there and have been there for years
