The Defence Secretary has said: "We are ready to put UK boots on the ground in Ukraine in part to reassure Ukrainians.
"But also in part to secure the safe skies, safe seas and to build the strength of the Ukrainian forces, because in the end the best deterrence against Russia... re-launching their aggression against Ukraine is the strength of Ukraine to stand for itself."
The Defence Secretary has affirmed the UK will continue to stand by Ukraine during these peace talks and has said: “The UK's role is to stand with Ukraine on the battlefield and in the negotiations, and prepare as we have been, leading 30 other nations with military planning for a ceasefire and a secure peace through what we call the coalition of the willing."
Healey elaborated more than 200 military planners from the coalition had been working over the last few months "doing detailed planning for the point of a ceasefire". He explained that multi-national forces were "ready to act from day one" adding: "The military plans are complete."
