Peskov claimed that there have been no "substantive negotiations" regarding the deployment of peacekeeping contingents in Ukraine.
"Europeans are currently talking a lot about peacekeeping contingents—this includes the French and the British, and that is indeed the case. But we all know the rules for deploying peacekeeping forces. So far, no substantive discussions on this topic have taken place," he said.
The Kremlin spokesperson also called the potential deployment of British or German peacekeeping missions to Ukraine a "very complex issue."
Peskov asserted that the problem lies in the fact that both the United Kingdom and Germany are NATO member states.
Previously, Starmer stated that he was "ready and willing" to send British troops to Ukraine to help enforce any future peace agreement.
According to The Telegraph, this marks the first time Starmer has publicly acknowledged the possibility of deploying British peacekeepers to Ukraine. His statement comes ahead of a meeting with European leaders in Paris. The British prime minister’s position also increases pressure on allies, particularly Germany, to support the idea of a European peacekeeping force in Ukraine.
