Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has called for the deployment of British troops to Ukraine as part of an international peacekeeping force. Johnson emphasized the need for multinational European forces to monitor the border and assist Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. He also advocated for the release of $300 billion in frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine. Discussions on sending British troops for peacekeeping in Ukraine are reportedly underway, with both Paris and London considering the possibility. A UK security source has indicated that the use of British forces for peacekeeping is being discussed. Johnson criticized the current level of Western aid to Ukraine, describing it as insufficient and warning of further human suffering if more substantial support is not provided. These developments come as Trump’s deal to mediate between Putin and Zelensky is referenced.
