British armed forces will be deployed on the ground in Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire with Russia, Number 10 has said.

Speaking at a press conference in Paris alongside French president Emmanuel Macron and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said “military hubs” will be set up across Ukraine once a peace deal has been reached.

The joint press conference was followed by a statement from Number 10, which said: “The signing of the declaration paves the way for the legal framework to be established for French and UK forces to operate on Ukrainian soil, securing Ukraine’s skies and seas and building an armed forces fit for the future.

Speaking with Spiked Online's Brendan O'Neill and Former Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, Talk's Julia Hartley-Brewer says: "Putin won't attack French and British troops!"
