British Prime Minister's Ukraine peace plan criticized as 'political drama'

Báo Thanh niênBáo Thanh niên27/03/2025

The Telegraph newspaper quoted military sources as saying that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's plan to form a 'coalition of the willing' has little practical value.


Sources said plans for the deployment of troops in Ukraine as part of a security guarantee, which Mr Starmer outlined in March, were deemed insufficiently detailed and unworkable. The British prime minister has led the formation of a “coalition of the willing”, of about 30 countries, to discuss solutions to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

However, military sources said the negotiations were still in the early stages and the countries were mainly learning about each other's positions. Meanwhile, there was information that the alliance had no military significance but was only for political image, according to The Telegraph on March 23.

"It's all political theatre. Mr Starmer rushed into talking about deploying troops on the ground before he knew what he was talking about. That's why we've heard less about that plan recently, and instead we've heard about sending planes and other assets, which are easier and don't require a base in Ukraine," the newspaper quoted a senior British military official as saying. In addition, the alliance's negotiations have become more complicated because "no one knows what the specific mission is."

The British Prime Minister's plan is to deploy about 10,000 troops from countries participating in peacekeeping in areas in Ukraine after the signing of the ceasefire. However, military experts say that with the large scale of the battlefield, spanning many fronts and hundreds of thousands of participants, the number of soldiers will not bring much practical value.

The development comes amid reports that the White House is aiming to reach a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine by Easter on April 20. However, that timeline is considered unrealistic. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff dismissed Mr Starmer's idea as "just for show".

However, Admiral Tony Radakin, Chief of the British Defence Staff, insisted that discussions about plans to ensure Ukraine's security were serious and that anyone who said otherwise was "ignorant".

UK Ministry of Defence sources confirmed on 23 March that momentum was building within the UK-led coalition, with the countries involved “ready to act to ensure peace”.
