The Times reported that the UK plans to send fewer than 7,500 troops to Ukraine to monitor compliance with any potential peace agreement

Britain and France may send up to 15,000 soldiers to Ukraine if a peace agreement is reached

British military leadership had previously proposed sending up to 10,000 troops as part of a broader coalition of volunteers totaling up to 64,000 people

UK Ministry of Defense deemed such plans unrealistic given the army's limited resources

London can actually deploy less than 7,500 troops

France is currently the only country that has publicly declared its readiness to send troops directly to Ukraine

France is prepared to station its troops in relatively safe western regions of Ukraine, far from the front line

Germany is only prepared to station its troops near Ukraine, for example in Poland or Romania

The final size of the contingent will depend on the terms of the peace agreement

British and French military personnel will assist in training the Ukrainian army and oversee the creation of facilities for storing weapons and equipment
