(TNS) Keir Starmer will travel to Ukraine in the coming weeks to discuss the possibility of deploying an international peacekeeping force there after the conflict with Russia has ended, his first visit to the war-torn nation since becoming U.K. prime minister half a year ago.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to visit Ukraine in the coming weeks to discuss the potential deployment of an international peacekeeping force, Bloomberg reported on Jan. 10, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The proposal to deploy a peacekeeping contingent in Ukraine could become part of broader security guarantees. Discussions will include the possibility of sending a military contingent from the UK, according to comments made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Ukrainian journalists following the Ramstein meeting.
