The Prime Minister held a virtual meeting with other world leaders on Saturday following which he announced proposals would move into an 'operational phase'.
A "coalition of the willing" is planning a peacekeeping force of over 10,000 troops and minehunters for Ukraine, potentially including British and French personnel. Military chiefs are meeting to develop the plan, which envisions deploying minehunters to the Black Sea following a ceasefire. However, Finland's president believes chances of Putin entering peace talks are "abysmal," and the Kremlin has resisted European or NATO forces in Ukraine. Securing US security guarantees for the force is seen as crucial, with concerns raised about its credibility without such support.
