UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is shifting his focus to air and sea support for Ukraine, as hopes of securing troops on the ground to enforce a peace deal with Russia dwindle.
In a meeting with military planners from the “coalition of the willing,” Starmer emphasized the importance of addressing multiple fronts in any future security guarantees. He stated that the UK would prioritize supporting Ukraine through air and sea operations, while also safeguarding land borders and promoting regeneration efforts.
This change in approach comes as the UK’s involvement in a ground-based military presence in Ukraine becomes increasingly unlikely.
