Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent discussions he has had with his US counterpart on future plans for a deployment of foreign service personnel to Ukraine as part of a peacekeeping force.

We welcome the significant efforts from both President Trump and President Zelenskyy to make progress on a peace deal and the constructive engagement in Geneva over the weekend towards securing a just and lasting peace.

We always encourage our partners to do whatever they can to support Ukraine. Any decisions on what support a state may wish to consider providing in support of Ukraine, including deploying personnel, rests with individual governments.
