Security guarantees for Ukraine
Previously, the UK Chief of the Defense Staff, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, assured that his country is ready to send troops to Ukraine to protect the skies and seaports.
At the same time, the admiral emphasized that British soldiers would not be sent to the front line in Ukraine.
The Telegraph reported that the UK is prepared to send its troops to Ukraine in the first week after a possible ceasefire with Russia.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump stated today that Europe must provide Ukraine with "significant" security guarantees.
