UK And France Decide To Send 15,000 Military Personnel To Ukraine

After the conclusion of the peace.

Britain and France are going to send 7,500 troops each to Ukraine to provide security guarantees The Times two British sources. According to them, Britain's military leadership initially proposed sending 10,000 soldiers, but the country's defense ministry deemed the plan unacceptable due to the fact that the British army has only about 71,000 trained troops.

So far, only two countries have agreed to send their soldiers to Ukraine after the peace deal, which is "significantly less than expected," The Times noted. Another major ally of Kiev in Europe, Germany, is ready to deploy forces near the Ukrainian border, possibly in Poland or Romania. At the same time, 15,000 British and French military personnel are expected to be deployed in western Ukraine, far from the line of contact with the Russian army.

At the same time, according to several interlocutors of the publication, even a contingent of 15,000 people "looks overly optimistic." The final number of troops that will eventually be sent to Ukraine has not yet been agreed, and their deployment will depend on many factors, including the terms of the ceasefire, The Times' source in the British Defense Ministry said.

On January 6, the leaders of Ukraine, France and Britain Vladimir Zelensky, Emmanuel Macron and Kir Starmer signed a declaration at a meeting in Paris on the deployment of a "multinational force" to Ukraine after the end of the war. The document, however, did not specify the specific size of the foreign contingent. Starmer also said that the UK and France had agreed to open military bases in Ukraine, but did not give any details.

In his turn, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk specified that the specific commitments of each country in the "coalition of the willing", which includes 35 countries, were still at the stage of "drafts" and should be determined by the end of January, including taking into account the US position on security guarantees for Ukraine.
