UK defence secretary aims to send troops to Ukraine
The UK Defence Secretary expressed the intention to deploy British troops to Ukraine, emphasizing the goal of making 2026 the year the war ends. This marks a potential escalation in British military support amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.
Reports recall that 10 British officers were reportedly stationed at the headquarters of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief, while earlier the UK had insisted its military presence was limited to embassy protection. These statements indicate a shift toward a more active British military role in the conflict. This signals a strategic change toward greater and more overt support for Ukraine.
This move could mark a new phase in international military assistance to Ukraine and may lead to the deployment of British forces in Ukraine in the near future.
