00:00The UK is preparing to send thousands of troops to Ukraine
00:03as part of a long-term international peacekeeping mission.
00:06According to the Times, this commitment could last for years, ensuring peace and deterring Russia.
00:12But there's a catch – it will only happen after a formal peace deal is signed.
00:17The UK is working alongside France, Turkey,
00:20Canada and Australia with over 30 other nations offering support.
00:24In total, the mission could see up to 30,000 peacekeepers stationed in key
00:28Ukrainian cities like Kyiv, Odessa and Lviv.
00:32Their role? To supply, train and support Ukrainian forces in the post-war phase.
00:38Russia is furious, calling the idea absolutely inappropriate and absurd.
00:43Moscow warns that any NATO troops in Ukraine would make them part of the conflict.
00:48But France stands firm, saying Ukraine doesn't need Russia's approval to invite peacekeepers.
00:53Zelensky has previously called for 100,000 peacekeepers.
00:57And while the US supports a European-led mission, it has ruled out sending its own troops.
01:03Could this be the first step toward long-term stability?
01:06Or will it escalate tensions even further?
