Starmer is happy to send British troops into harm’s way but he won’t fund them properly
Keir Starmer's recent discussions on deploying a peacekeeping force to Ukraine reveal significant challenges. The UK military, with fewer than 75,000 personnel, could only deploy a brigade of 3,000-5,000 troops, far short of the 100,000 needed for effective peacekeeping against Russia.

The current state of the British Army is dire, with recruitment issues, outdated equipment, and insufficient funding. Starmer has yet to commit to necessary defense spending increases, leaving the military ill-prepared for potential commitments abroad.
