Russia has warned that Western soldiers there would be treated as legitimate targets.
The UK will spend nearly $270 million on equipping troops it plans to deploy in Ukraine after a ceasefire is reached, British Defense Secretary John Healey announced during a trip to Kiev on Friday.
Russia has repeatedly said it would not allow Western soldiers to be stationed in Ukraine and has warned that it would treat foreign troops as legitimate targets.
Nevertheless, Healey said the funds would be invested in units intended to form part of a multinational force aimed at providing “long-term security guarantees” to Ukraine.
“We are surging investment into our preparations following the prime minister’s announcement this week, ensuring that Britain’s Armed Forces are ready to deploy and lead the Multinational Force Ukraine, because a secure Ukraine means a secure UK,” Healey said.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Denis Shmigal said after the meeting that the UK would begin producing 1,000 Octopus interceptor drones per month in February and deliver them to Ukraine.
Despite their continued support for military aid, some European countries, including Germany and Italy, have refused to commit to sending troops to the country.
NATO members Hungary and Slovakia have declined to send weapons to Kiev, urging the West to focus on diplomacy instead. The US, which has been attempting to mediate a truce between Russia and Ukraine, has also ruled out sending American soldiers to the country.
The Russian Foreign Ministry reiterated on Thursday that Moscow would treat “the stationing of military units, sites, depots and other Western infrastructure in Ukraine as a foreign intervention posing a direct threat to Russia’s security.”

But no money for basics
The UK should be renamed Bedlam
Which was an asylum for the mentally ill
Located in London
The UK has an intrinsic hatred of Russia
Going back to the Crimean War
Gallipoli another British military ill conceived folly and blatant display of exported canon fodder
Are We seeing another charge of the Light Brigade miscommunication debacle in Ukraine?
A few Oreshnik “Hazel Tree” well placed will probably answer that question
“ensuring that Britain’s Armed Forces are ready to deploy and lead the Multinational Force Ukraine”
They’re going to “lead”
This’ll be fun to watch.
NZ troops in Ukraine would require Cabinet approval under ‘Coalition of the Willing’ talks

Maybe send some of these cuck politicians over there?
Reminds me of Hogans Heroes
General Burkhalter always threatening Klink in sending Him to the Russian Front
With a Russian dictionary in His hand
So they send the white men to be killed, who will protect the women and children from the Islamic invasion within? Oh yeah, sorry that is the whole plan.

Trojan horse. This is a build up for war. Just like Frump’s plan to increase the staggering trillion dollar defence budget, in the US, by 50%.This wont end well.
IF the U.K moves into the Ukraine w/ ‘Boots on the Ground’, and then attacks Russian troops, Russia will attack the U.K. as Russia will see this as a direct confrontation with NATO, and the U.K.
Then the U.K will have no way of defending against Oreshnik missiles, especially if the Oreshniks are equipped with nuclear warheads.
