And Yes, Here it is! This is what I thought Starmer was implying in London a week ago; A reassurance force, regardless of Moscow’s demands.

Imo, It’s the only thing that would make strategic sense.

"The potential Western troop deployment to Ukraine being discussed in London should be described as a “reassurance force” rather than a “peacekeeping force”, defence and diplomatic sources say.

The sources say any multinational operation in Ukraine would not be a “peacekeeping force” and should not be described as such.

+I’m curious how this will materialise.

If anyone else is wondering what the difference is between a peacekeeping force and a “reassurance” force:

Peacekeeping forces - under the aegis of either the United Nations or Nato - traditionally are impartial, operate with the consent of both parties and use force only to defend themselves. The multinational force being discussed would very much be on Ukraine’s side, there to help deter future Russian aggression.

It sounds to me it’s more of a tripwire force if anything.
