UK and France Prepare to Deploy Forces to Ukraine in Event of Peace Deal

In a major development, the UK and France have announced their willingness to deploy troops to Ukraine in the event of a peace deal with Russia. The declaration was made after a summit in Paris hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron and attended by over two dozen leaders from the "coalition of the willing" – a group of Ukrainian allies.

The statement, released after UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer signed the trilateral declaration of intent, says that Britain will deploy forces to Ukraine if a peace deal is reached. The UK's iron-clad commitment to stand with Ukraine for the long term is a vital part of this plan.

According to the UK government, the deployment will act as a reassurance force to bolster security guarantees and Ukraine's ability to return to peace and stability by supporting the regeneration of its own forces. French President Macron also committed to supporting Ukraine's forces on the frontline.

Under the terms of the declaration, France and the UK will establish military hubs across Ukraine in the event of a peace deal with Russia. These hubs will enable the deployment and build protected facilities for weapons and military equipment to support Ukraine's defensive needs.

US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff re-affirmed that President Trump wants peace in Ukraine, saying they are determined on his behalf to do everything possible to obtain it. Witkoff also stated that they are very close to finishing up security protocols and believe they can finish a robust prosperity agreement like no other country has coming out of conflicts.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the declaration as "substantive" saying there is concrete content – joint declarations from coalition countries and trilateral agreements by France, Britain, and Ukraine. He stated that this will be a significant step towards Ukraine's security guarantees.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has also committed to participating in US-led monitoring and verification of any ceasefire. Starmer stated that Putin is not willing to show peace and will continue to keep the pressure on Russia, including measures on oil trades and shadow fleet operators supporting Russia.

A press conference by Zelenskyy and Coalition of Willing leaders after their afternoon summit is expected, with US envoys Witkoff and Kushner in attendance.
 
🤔 just a reminder that deploying troops to Ukraine might not be the most effective solution... think about all the infrastructure damage & human cost already there... 🌎💥 maybe more focus on rebuilding & supporting local forces instead? 🤝
 
I'm not sure if this is a good idea 🤔. Deploying troops to Ukraine just for the sake of a peace deal seems like it's being done on the fly without thinking about the potential consequences 🚨. What if Russia doesn't actually agree to a peace deal? We're talking about deploying thousands of soldiers into a war zone here... that's crazy talk 😱. And what about the costs? The UK and France are already pouring a ton of money into this conflict, but now we're talking about sending in troops to fight on Russian soil? It just doesn't add up 🤦‍♂️. Plus, Putin is still holding out on negotiations... I mean, have these leaders even thought about what the endgame looks like here? 🙄
 
I don't get why we need to see all these press conferences and summits... it's just a bunch of politicking 🤷‍♂️. Can't they just agree on something already? I mean, I'm all for Ukraine getting the support it needs, but do we really need France and the UK setting up military hubs across the country? It sounds like a recipe for disaster to me 💔. And what's with all these "commitments" and "declarations of intent"? Can't they just follow through on something already? 🤦‍♂️ I swear, sometimes I think we need more transparency and less spin doctors...
 
OMG what a massive turn of events 🤯! The UK and France are totally on board to back Ukraine up if Russia gets on board with a peace deal 💪. I'm all for it, it's about time some big players take action, ya know? Like, imagine having those two European powers watch each other's backs...it's like they're playing a real-life game of "World War Z" 🌎😂.

Anyway, this could be a huge deal if everything goes smoothly. I mean, think about it, these three countries are basically saying they'll work together to rebuild Ukraine and make sure Russia doesn't mess with them again 💕. It's all about stability and security now...let's keep our fingers crossed that Putin gets the hint 🤞.

I'm also loving Steve Witkoff's vibes – he's like the ultimate US diplomat, "I got this" 😎. And Ukraine's President Zelenskyy is looking sharp too, I love how confident he is about their new alliance 💥. This could be the start of something beautiful, fingers crossed it all works out 🙏🌈
 
I think it's super unlikely that UK and France will actually deploy troops to Ukraine 🤔🇬🇧. I mean, we're already seeing the costs add up for them and their economies aren't exactly swimming in funds 💸. Plus, they're not gonna let Putin push 'em around without a fight, but they won't necessarily need a full-on military presence either 🙅‍♂️. France's got some serious infrastructure issues to deal with at home, and the UK's all about Brexit drama – I reckon neither of those countries has the appetite for more military commitments 🚫.
 
omg u guys!!! 🤩 the UK & France r like literally committing to help Ukraine if a peace deal goes through!! 🙌 i mean i get it, they wanna support Ukraine but can't we all just have peace already?? 😩 anywayz, i love how Keir Starmer is like "we got ur back ukraine" 💪 and Zelenskyy is low-key excited about the subsantive content of this declaration 🤝 idk about Putin tho, he's still being super shady 🤑 can we pls just get a ceasefire already?? 😭
 
I'm not sure about this deployment plan... it feels like a lot of people are putting all their eggs in one basket 🤔. I mean, think about it - if there's a peace deal, what then? Will we just leave Ukraine to fend for itself again? 🤷‍♂️ And what about the Russian perspective - won't they see this as another provocation? It feels like a ticking time bomb to me... but at the same time, I get why both France and the UK want to show support for Ukraine 🙏. Maybe we should just wait and see how it all plays out?
 
I'm so down for some actual conflict resolution – like, who needs peace when you can have a good ol' fashioned war to get the adrenaline pumping? I mean, think about it, the UK and France are basically saying they'll show up with their guns blazing if Russia doesn't come crawling. It's all about showing the tough guy, right? 🤣 And let's be real, how hard can it be for Putin to just agree to a peace deal when he knows the West is willing to put its money where its mouth is – or in this case, its troops? I'm calling it now, whoever comes out on top in this mess is gonna be rich off of war profiteering 🤑
 
🤔 so like france and uk are basically saying if they can get a peace deal with russia then they'll send troops to Ukraine... like that's not a bold move at all 🚀 it feels like they're trying to show support for ukraine but also kinda positioning themselves as the "good guys" in this whole thing.

i mean, what's up with the military hubs though? are they just gonna be like "oh we'll deploy troops if you promise to not fight anymore"? 🤷‍♂️ and what about the us? they're all about supporting peace but it feels like there's more to it than that... like president trump wants to get out of this whole thing without actually doing anything 🤑
 
idk about this peace deal tho 🤔 they're just setting up troops on the border like it's a war zone lol what if russia doesn't wanna play along?? france and uk are literally giving russia an ultimatum, like "hey buddy wanna be friends or get our tanks" 😒 anyway, i heard zelenskyy's been talking to some big shots in eu and usa, maybe they're finally gonna listen 👀
 
🤔 This whole thing just feels like a power play to me. I mean, what's really going on here? Is it just about securing Ukraine as a pawn in the game of global politics? 🌎 France and the UK want to flex their muscles, show Putin they can still be counted on, but is that enough to actually bring peace to the table?

And let's not forget the US is all over this too. Trump wants peace in Ukraine, yeah right! He never did anything about it when he was in office... 🤷‍♂️ Still, I guess they're trying to make good on their promises now. But what about Russia's perspective? Are we just ignoring the fact that Putin has already been willing to talk to Ukraine and come to some sort of agreement?

I think this whole thing is a bit like a game of cat and mouse. We're setting up these military hubs, talking about security guarantees... but what does it really mean? Is it just more money for Ukraine to keep them in the game? 🤑 And how are we going to hold Putin accountable if he's not showing any signs of wanting peace?

This all just feels like a lot of posturing to me. Can't we just talk to each other and find some real solutions instead of setting up these elaborate plans for military intervention? 🤷‍♂️
 
Just read that UK and France are ready to put boots on the ground in Ukraine if there's a peace deal 🤝. This is gonna be interesting... apparently they're planning to set up military hubs across the country to support Ukraine's forces, which is a big deal 💪. But what's the catch? Is it really just about showing Russia that we care, or are they looking for a way to get involved in the conflict more directly? 🤔 Not sure if this is a good thing or not...
 
I just don't get why we need to send troops over there... it's all so complicated 🤯 I remember when I was in school, we'd learn about how Russia and Ukraine used to be one country, but then the Soviet Union broke up and they became separate nations. Now it's like they're at war again... what were they thinking? 😔 The thought of French and British soldiers fighting on foreign soil is just too much for me, you know? 🤕 It's all so... tragic. I hope there's a way to resolve this conflict without bloodshed. 🙏
 
🤝 This peace deal thingy sounds like a biggie to me... if the UK and France are willing to put troops on the ground, that means Russia's gotta take it seriously or else they'll be stuck holding the bag for not getting back what they want. 🤑 I'm kinda surprised the US is on board too tho, considering Trump's all about 'America First' and all... I wonder if there's more to this deal than meets the eye? 💡
 
🤔 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or just a way to make the situation more complicated... 🚨 The UK and France are going to deploy troops to Ukraine if there's a peace deal, but what if it doesn't work out? 😬 We're already talking about military hubs and security guarantees, which sounds like a lot of responsibility. And let's not forget that Russia isn't exactly known for being cooperative... 🤷‍♂️ What if this just prolongs the conflict even further? 🕰️ I guess it's good to have allies like France and the UK looking out for Ukraine, but I'd love to see more concrete plans in place before we jump into anything. 💡
 
just heard about this 🤯, i'm glad to see some real action happening on the peace front... deployment of troops by uk and france could be a game changer 💪, gotta give credit to macron for stepping up and making a commitment to stand with ukraine. meanwhile, it's still super concerning that russia isn't willing to take a step back without pressure from all sides 🙅‍♂️, need to see concrete actions not just words... also curious about the oil trades and shadow fleet ops being mentioned as part of the pressure strategy 💰, think it's time for us to rethink our approach to dealing with russia's aggressive tactics...
