Keir Starmer will travel to Ukraine in the coming weeks to discuss the possibility of deploying an international peacekeeping force there after the conflict with Russia has ended, his first visit to the war-torn nation since becoming UK prime minister half a year ago.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced the plan following a meeting with allies at the Ramstein Air Base in Germany, without saying when Starmer would visit. The UK premier is planning to go to Kyiv in the coming weeks as Europe ramps up preparation for US President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House, a person familiar with the matter said. Starmer’s office declined to comment.
