On March 15, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer presented plans to send 10,000 peacekeeping troops to Ukraine at a high-level virtual summit in London. Operation Interflex, the U.K.’s domestic training mission for Ukrainian troops, is expected to wind down by the end of the year, with operations relocating to a base near Lviv. Ukraine remains under pressure to respond to a broader U.S. peace plan first presented in Paris on April 17. Despite the revised strategy, the U.K. insists it remains committed to Ukraine’s defense, according to the Times. In the meantime, we’re continuing to support efforts for peace, while stepping up the military support for Ukraine as Putin’s illegal invasion continues."
