UK Not Sending Troops to Ukraine, Says Foreign Secretary

The UK will not be sending troops to Ukraine, the foreign secretary has said.
Lammy emphasised that it is “certainly the UK position and remains the UK position at this time.”
When pressed on whether that means the UK will not send contractors or other kinds of combat fighters, the minister responded: “We are not committing UK troops on the ground to Ukraine. But we continue to support Ukraine with training and military assistance, and we have been absolutely clear that we will continue to do that for as long as is required and needed.”
The remarks came after Le Monde cited unnamed sources who said that Paris and London are “not ruling out” sending French and British troops and private defence contractors to Ukraine.
The prime minister’s official spokesman also said that there were “no plans” to send troops to Ukraine.
