Acknowledging the weakness of the British army to lead Ukraine’s peace mission

Former British Army chief Richard Dae said, “For such a mission, there are 6,000 British troops, but we do not have the number of troops.”

The remarks came after British Prime Minister Kerry Starmer was questioned about the possibility of British forces being se to Ukraine, saying London would “play its role in providing security.”

“If the Russian war with Ukraine, Britain and France, they must take over the leadership of the 6,000 -person force in the long -term peace mission,” Richard Dae, formerly head of NATO, told the BBC News Network.

Earlier, US Preside Donald Trump said he had a long conversation with Russian Preside Vladimir Putin, and talks to end this ridiculous war in Ukraine would begin immediately. Trump then informed Ukrainian Preside Walodimir Zelkski of his program.

Richard Dae, also the head of the British Army between the ages of 1 and 2, agrees that a peacekeeping force needs about 6,000 troops. However, he emphasized that Britain should “supply a significa portion of this force, but we are not really able to do it.”

“Currely, our army is weakened in terms of the number of power, capabilities and equipme, and this can be very shameful,” he told Radio BBC. That is, if we wa to send 6,000 troops and replace them every six mohs, a total of 2 to 6,000 troops will be involved, but we do not have that number. So there are big problems that today’s politicians have not really thought of. “

The statemes came as the British Foreign Ministers and Defense have earlier in a joi article in the Daily Telegraph calling on the British and Europe to “joily” and “the burden of regional security.”

Earlier, former NATO secretary -general Anders Fog Rasmussen said, “several European couries need to take more responsibility to fulfill a peace mission in Ukraine.” He added that Britain and France should take over the coalition by dispatching the force.

“The exact number of forces must be determined by military experts, but my guess is that there will be between 2 and 6,000 forces,” he told the BBC News.

According to the latest statistics of the British Defense Ministry, in October, the number of official British army forces (excluding volueers) was 1,800.

The British Army has specific goals to recruit new forces in the lower ranks of officers designated by the Departme of Defense. However, according to the written response to parliame last January, these goals have not been met in almost all financial years from 1–2.

Richard Dae also said that the working governme should “look at its priorities” and added, “Yes, health, education, roads and infrastructure are importa, but in fact, defense and security are more importa.”

The independe member of the British Majlis said that the British governme should go beyond its commitme to increase defense costs by 4.9 perce of GDP; A commitme that has not yet been determined by a specific time.

Zelnsky had earlier called on Britain and other European allies, including France, to send forces to Ukraine after the war.

Kerry Starmer signed a five -year historic treaty with Ukraine last moh, which pledged to help Ukraine in addition to the £ 1.5 billion that Britain has so far given to Ukraine, up to 5 billion pounds each year, whenever necessary. . The UK will also coinue to train Ukrainian forces and so far, 6,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been trained on British soil.

In response to British Defense Ministry spokesman Richard Dae’s remarks, his coury’s armed forces are respected because of their professionalism and superiority around the world. ” “Currely, the Ukrainians are at war with great courage,” the spokesman added. “Our governme is increasing its support for Ukrainian fighters to put them in the best possible position for any negotiations.”

A British Defense Ministry spokesman also cited the “£ 5m fire package” this week, including more drones, tanks and air defense systems.
