UK Military Officials Lace Into Starmer’s Ukraine Plans As ‘Political Theater’

Starmer’s spokesperson said that more than 30 countries were expected to join the so-called “coalition of the willing” — a group of states ready to deploy peacekeepers in Ukraine and provide Kyiv with security guarantees.

“There is no defined military end-state or military-strategic planning assumptions. It’s all political theatre,” one senior UK military source told the publication. “Starmer got ahead of himself with talk of boots on the ground before he knew what he was talking about, which is why we hear less about it now and more about jets and vessels which are easier to do and don’t need basing in Ukraine.”
