There are “no plans” for there to be a “large-scale deployment” of UK troops in Ukraine, Rishi Sunak’s spokesperson has said, in response to comments by Emmanuel Macron yesterday.
Asked about the French leader not ruling out Western troops fighting in Ukraine, the spokesperson said this was not in the works but the UK was helping with “equipment, supplies and training”.
“Beyond the small number of personnel we do have in the country supporting the armed forces of Ukraine, we haven’t got any plans for large-scale deployment,” the spokesman told reporters.
They added the issue was a “matter for France”.
