Officials at the meeting proposed that the air force could send fighter jets on\u201cAir Alert\u201d and provide air cover for troops on the ground. But details of how many troops, troops and equipment will be deployed in Ukraine have yet to be revealed. Earlier, the times quoted sources as saying Stamer had proposed a 10,000-strong western peacekeeping force.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A senior British military official criticized, \u201cSo far, there is still no definite final military plan or military strategic plan, this is just political theater.\u201d. The official said, \u201cStamer started talking about ground forces without knowing what he was talking about, which is why we&#8217;re hearing less and less about it and more and more about jets and ships. Because the latter is easier to do and does not require stationing in Ukraine\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Another British military official was also critical, saying, \u201cThis is politics, it doesn&#8217;t make military sense.\u201d He questioned, \u201cWhat can an international force of 10,000 troops stationed in western Ukraine, more than 400 kilometers from the front line, do? It can&#8217;t even defend itself,\u201d the official asked, \u201cWhat is the mission of this plan? What is its legality? What are the rules of engagement? How will it be commanded, how will it be supplied, how will it be stationed? Why will it be there and for how long? Nobody Knows.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Former British defense secretary Ben Wallace said that the recent discussion about the alliance is only\u201cEmpty talk\u201d, there is no substance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In early March, British Prime Minister Stamer announced a coalition plan to send European peacekeepers to provide security.
