On February 16, both Britain and Germany expressed their views on the possibility of sending peacekeeping forces to Ukraine after Kiev and Moscow reached an agreement to end the conflict.

In an article in the Daily Telegraph , British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he was ready to send British troops to Ukraine as part of a post-conflict peacekeeping force, stressing that the ceasefire could not be "simply a pause before Russia attacks again".
Putting British soldiers in "dangerous situations" was not an easy decision, but ensuring lasting peace in Ukraine was essential, the British leader said.
This is the first time Prime Minister Starmer has made clear that he is considering deploying British peacekeepers to Ukraine. He has previously said that Britain would be ready to play its part in any peace deal.
Meanwhile, Alternative for Germany (AfD) party lawmaker Kay Gottschalk said that Germany would never want to send troops to Ukraine, and would "possibly" only send peacekeeping forces.
However, before Germany considers sending peacekeepers to Ukraine, there needs to be a “clear roadmap” towards restoring peace and trust with Russia.
In January, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said it would take “at least 200,000” allied troops to come to the country to implement a possible peace deal between Kiev and Moscow.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at the time that the deployment of peacekeeping forces could only be done with the consent of the parties to a particular conflict.
