Fox News
U.K. Defense Secretary John Healey says Britain is ready to lead European peacekeeping efforts in Ukraine if President Donald Trump secures a ceasefire deal.
"We are ready to step in behind the president in his push for peace," he said during a briefing with reporters after meeting with War Secretary Pete Hegseth on AUKUS, the Australia-UK-US nuclear submarine-building deal. "We are ready to step in as he forces the pace of the negotiations in the way that only President Trump can. Because if he can get a ceasefire agreement, we are ready to do the heavy lifting in Europe."
Trump has said Ukraine "has to be realistic" about a peace plan that would include ceding territory to Russia — a prospect Zelenskyy has insisted is unacceptable. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Thursday that he, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron had proposed to Trump that they finalize the peace proposal with U.S. officials over the weekend.
