British Minister Steve Reed has dismissed suggestions that the UK is about to abandon plans to send British troops to Ukraine as part of a peacekeeping force, UNN reports, citing The Telegraph.
Context
The Times reported on Friday that the UK was likely to abandon the idea of sending troops on the ground because the risks were calculated to be "too high", citing a source involved in the "coalition of the willing" talks.
Instead, the UK and its allies will reportedly focus on rearming Ukraine and providing air and sea support.
