Debate

Ukraine and Wider Operational Update

Contribution

Yesterday’s declaration advances that work significantly. It confirms that the UK and France will ‘take a leading role’: first, in using military, economic and diplomatic instruments to ensure the conclusion of a peace agreement; secondly, in supporting the development of Ukraine’s defence capabilities; and, thirdly, in commanding a multinational force for Ukraine that plans to deploy to Ukraine after a ceasefire has been agreed.
