Over 200 military planners from nearly 40 countries have prepared for a possible European troop deployment to Ukraine if Donald Trump brokers a ceasefire with Vladimir Putin, UK Defense Secretary John Healey said.
Russia’s spy agency now claims the UK is preparing pro‑Ukrainian Russians to stage an attack on a Ukrainian or allied ship in Europe, using Chinese equipment to make it appear China supports Russia, which actually does support Russia.
Zelenskyy revealed that Russia’s 5 October attack relied on thousands of imported electronics for missiles and drones, demonstrating how international supply chains are exploited for war.
The unsubstantiated allegations mirror tactics used before Russia's 2014 Crimea annexation, creating manufactured pretexts for potential invasion from Moldova's region occupied by Russian forces.
The UK’s announcement comes as Europe steps up economic pressure on Russia, with coordinated measures aimed at limiting Moscow’s oil revenue and supporting Ukraine amid ongoing conflict.
