UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer declared his willingness to deploy British troops to Ukraine “in harm’s way” to deter Russian aggression hours before he is set to join an ’emergency summit’ on the matter in Paris on Monday.
The United States and Russia are meeting to discuss the Ukraine war in Saudi Arabia this week, but European leaders have not been invited to send delegations. Apparently prompted by being left behind in this regard, and likely too by the Trump White House’s suggestion that European nations actually decide what they are actually capable of doing on Ukraine, European leaders are meeting in Paris today for an “emergency summit”.
Upping the stakes for other attendees before the meeting began, the British Prime Minister threw his weight behind French President Emmanuel Macron’s now long-floated plan to deploy European contingents directly to Ukraine to face down the Russians, saying he was now “ready” to deploy the British Army.
