⚡The UK military is "so run down" it could not lead a future peacekeeping mission in Ukraine, the former head of the army has said. Lord Dannatt told the BBC that up to 40,000 UK troops would be needed for such a mission and "we just haven't got that number available". It comes after Sir Keir Starmer said the UK would "play its part" in guaranteeing Ukraine's security after the prime minister was asked this week if he was open to sending British troops as peacekeepers. A former Nato chief told the BBC that Britain and France should lead a force of up to 100,000 troops as part of a long-term peacekeeping effort should Russia's war with Ukraine end. US President Donald Trump earlier this week announced he had had a lengthy conversation with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, and that negotiations to stop the "ridiculous war" in Ukraine would begin "immediately". Trump then "informed" Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, of his plan. Lord Dannatt - who was head of the Army from 2006 to 2009 - agreed that a force to keep the peace would require about 100,000 troops. However he said the UK would have to supply "quite a proportion of that and we really couldn't do it". "Our military is so run down at the present moment, numerically and as far as capability and equipment is concerned, it would potentially be quite embarrassing," he told BBC Radio 4's The Week in Westminster. "I mean, if we were to deploy 10,000 troops, each rotation for six months, that would effectively tie up 30,000 or 40,000 troops and we just haven't got that number available. "So there are some big issues here that today's politicians won't really have considered." |

[quote author=WriiterNg post=134151077][/quote]Of course it's a war, were you expecting them to hide the guns after capturing it? If they had better quality weapons you would have seen them with the IDF too. Na so e be. Nothing special about it. |

⚡Putin is assembling a "team of heavyweights" for negotiations on Ukraine advisor Ushakov and SVR chief Naryshkin, Bloomberg reports, citing sources. Ushakov is Putin’s advisor and has been in diplomacy for over 50 years. Naryshkin served with Putin in the KGB. Both participated in the 2022 negotiations, so Putin’s demands haven’t changed much since then. Another negotiator, Dmitriev, is originally from Kiev. From the U.S. side, the negotiators will include Secretary of State Rubio, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, and Trump’s special representative Steven Witkoff. https://static.themoscowtimes.com/image/article_1360/c9/TASS_18977371.jpg |

⚡Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for the creation of an "army of Europe" to guard against Russia as he suggested the US may no longer come to the continent's aid. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, he also said that Ukraine would "never accept deals made behind our backs without our involvement" after US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to start peace talks. In a speech on Friday, in which he attacked European democracies, US Vice President JD Vance warned that Europe needed to "step up in a big way" on defence. Zelensky said: "I really believe the time has come - the armed forces of Europe must be created." He said: "Yesterday here in Munich, the US vice president made it clear [that] decades of the old relationship between Europe and America are ending. "From now on things will be different and Europe needs to adjust to that." Earlier this week, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said that Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine was a "factory reset" for Nato which signalled the alliance needed to be "robust", "strong" and "real". On Saturday, Zelensky said: "Let's be honest. Now we can't rule out the possibility that America might say no to Europe on an issue that threatens it. "Many, many leaders have talked about Europe that needs its own military. "An army, an army of Europe." |

WriiterNg:When they were busy hosting peace summit, was Russia among? The idea of the fraudulent peace summit was to gather as much vote and give Russia an ultimatum to sign. Such precedent have set the stage for US and Russia to negotiate while excluding Ukraine. What goes around comes around. |
