The British government is preparing to deploy troops to Ukraine as part of a reassurance force if a peace agreement with Russia is secured.

Officials said the contribution would likely focus on bolstering air defense systems and securing vital port infrastructure.

The plan underscores the UK’s continued support for Kyiv, but also raises concerns about the risks of direct NATO involvement in Ukraine should hostilities reignite.
