Стармер впервые посетит Украину для обсуждения отправки миротворцев, сообщает Bloomberg.

This is reported by Bloomberg, citing a person "familiar with the situation."

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced Starmer's visit during the "Ramstein" meeting, but at that time he did not specify when exactly he would arrive.

"This initiative (the sending of peacekeepers — ed.) was started by Emmanuel Macron. The British view this positively, but I will discuss it in detail with the Prime Minister during our meeting.", journalists quote the Ukrainian president.

According to their information, the visit is set to take place in the coming weeks, as Europe intensifies preparations for the return of elected U.S. President Donald Trump to the White House. This trip to Ukraine will mark Starmer's first visit since he took office as Prime Minister.

Western Troops in Ukraine

Back in February 2024, French President Emmanuel Macron discussed the deployment of his troops to Ukraine at a meeting of partner countries held in Paris. However, he noted that the countries had not yet reached a consensus on this issue.

In November, the French publication Le Monde reported that certain European leaders had once again returned to discussions about the possible deployment of Western troops to Ukraine due to the potential refusal of newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump to provide assistance to Kyiv.

Meanwhile, American media circulated a plan for resolving the war in Ukraine, allegedly proposed by advisors to the newly elected U.S. President.

This plan, in particular, includes the establishment of a demilitarized zone along the frozen front line between Russia and Ukraine, with security there to be ensured by troops from European countries.

At the same time, European politicians are skeptical about the prospect of sending a peacekeeping mission to Ukraine if U.S. military forces are not involved, media reports indicated.
