UK PM Starmer calls for US 'security guarantee' to deter Russia from attacking Ukraine

Firstpost  

European leaders met on Monday for emergency talks in Paris called by French President Emmanuel Macron to agree a coordinated response to a shock policy shift on the war in Ukraine by the new US administration of Donald Trump. File Image- Reuters After emergency talks with fellow European leaders in view of Washington’s shock policy shift on Ukraine, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday that European countries must have a US security commitment to send postwar peacekeeping forces to Ukraine, and it was too early to say how many British troops he would be willing to deploy. “Europe must play its role, and I’m prepared to consider committing British forces on the ground alongside others, if there is a lasting peace agreement, but there must be a U.S. backstop, because a U.S. security guarantee is the only way to effectively deter Russia from attacking Ukraine again,” Starmer told reporters. Ties with US have entered ’new phase' Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Monday Europe was aware its ties with the United States had entered a “new phase”, after he attended an emergency meeting on security with fellow European leaders in Paris. Europe, US must always act together for Ukraine peace: Scholz German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Monday that Europe and the United States must always act together on security.
