UK will next week accelerate plans for Ukraine peacekeeping force

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain will accelerate plans next week for a potential peacekeeping force in Ukraine, including a discussion about how it can operate and the structure, a spokesman for Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Friday.

British military planners will meet again at the Northwood base in London next week to discuss how the force could work, the spokesman said.

"We will continue to accelerate the pace and scale of operation planning with further meetings at our Northwood headquarters as we look closer at the details and structure of any future force," the spokesman said.
