Britain and France will lead a European “coalition of the willing” to provide security guarantees to Ukraine and enable peace negotiations with Russia, Sir Keir Starmer said.
The Prime Minister said he and Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, were working together on a security plan which is believed to include peacekeeping troops on the ground.
This European security guarantee would then be put to the US for approval, Sir Keir added.
Speaking to the BBC, he was unable to say that [Donald Trump had agreed to US security guarantees](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/03/02/russia-ukraine-zelensky-putin-starmer-king-war-latest-news/) for any peace deal, saying [discussions were ongoing](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/02/26/us-must-protect-ukraine-peacekeepers-starmer-trump/).
Sir Keir will meet European leaders later on Sunday in London to discuss support for Ukraine. Canada will also be represented at the talks.
It comes two days after Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, endured a [fiery meeting with Mr Trump](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/2025/03/01/trump-zelensky-white-house-row-video/) in the White House.

Starting to think Trump has made a deal for minerals with Russia including Ukrainian ones. He is gonna pull out of NATO and they will announce the war is over without any agreement from Ukraine.
I doubt this will yield any concrete results. UK is too unwilling to go against the US. Just another fluffy statement to appease media.
Ukraine needs war fighting troops not peacekeeping troops.
The mechanism is already in place – the Ukrainian foreign legion. European countries can help recruit for, train and pay for the foreign legion and give their troops leave to go to Ukraine.
Starmer seems to be enjoying his moment in the sun. He sees himself as this bridge between Trump and Europe but he’ll get thrown under the bus by the Americans as soon as they see fit.
Give Ukraine enough weapons and training, and sanction fascist russia enough, and there will be peace.
Coalition of the willing?
UK is one of the signatories of Budapest Memorandum.
And the war is right at their doorstep.
It shouldn’t even be “willing”, should be EU defense pact or some shit.
As a German I think it’s embarrassing and pathetic that we’re not part of this effort. I understand we had elections and they need to form a coalition but still id expect more given the current circumstances.
I expect them to go twice as fast once they have a functioning government.
Why does the US needs to aproove European troops in Ukraine?
Ukraine doesnt need Peacekeeping troops,it needs them NOW
