Launch Starmer: Trump did not give Macron guarantees on peacekeepers on Ukraine — FT

The UK and France are ready to send peacekeepers to Ukraine, only if the United States gives guarantees of protection to this contingent, but US President Donald Trump does not give such guarantees. This was reported by the Financial Times newspaper, citing anonymous diplomatic sources.

However, according to an unnamed official, although Trump did not make any promises to Macron, he "does not object to the Americans giving security guarantees."

On the need for guarantees from the United States in the event of deployment to The peacekeepers were also announced to Ukraine by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who is going to meet with Trump next Thursday.

"We will deploy our forces in Ukraine if we receive American guarantees," Starmer said, quoted by Strana.

As reported by EADaily, the UK and France will present to US President Donald Trump a plan for the deployment of 30 thousand peacekeepers on Ukraine. This was reported by The Wall Street Journal with reference to European officials.

The plan of deployment of the foreign contingent on Ukraine, in the event of an agreement between Kiev and Moscow on a cease-fire, will be offered to Donald Trump in the next few days, the newspaper wrote. In Washington, he will be presented by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron.
