UK preparing to send troops to Ukraine

London is preparing a plan for sending troops to Ukraine after the end of active hostilities, Bloomberg reports. The UK intends to send its non-combat units "deep into Ukrainian territory," away from the line of contact.

The publication notes that the issue arose amid an escalating dispute between London and Brussels. The EU demanded €2 billion from Britain for access to its defense fund, but Britain rejected the request. Against this backdrop, according to the agency, ministers also discussed possible scenarios for participating in "post-war security" in Ukraine.

It is specified that London intends to adjust the plan depending on the terms of any peace agreement.
