Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

A "significant number" of countries are willing to provide peacekeeping troops in Ukraine if a peace deal with Russia is reached, according to a spokesperson for British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Britain and France are leading efforts to create a "coalition of the willing" involving over 30 countries, as Trump pursues peace talks with Russia. Russia has rejected the idea of NATO soldiers in Ukraine.

When questioned about Russia's objections, Starmer's spokesperson noted that "Russia didn't ask Ukraine when it deployed North Korean troops to the frontline last year."

Why the wait to send in peackeepers. Russia shore did not (if im not mistaken they initially called their troop buildup peacekeepers). Would be ironic if the uk and eu ended up defending ukraine with troops given both the us and russia signed a treaty saying they would. I mean russias a backstabber but the us is the person who said they would help and did not (I know we did some stuff but given the treaty we signed we should have stopped the annexation of crimea)

If you are referring to the Budapest Memorandum, the UK signed that as well.
