Recall the British Parliament on the Ukrainian level of peacekeepers, Lib Dems asks – Politico

He comes after Davey joined the deputies of the Labor Party and the conservatives of opposition to the power to call a more parliamentary parliamentary examination of the Starmer plan, who received a mixed reception in Europe. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz argued on Monday that he was “very inappropriate” to discuss the sending of peacekeeping troops before the peace plan was agreed, and a summit hosted in French has broken with little consensus on a path to follow.

In an interview with Politico, Davey – whose party is the third largest in the British Parliament and has a form of demanding reminders – offered flexibility on the calendar of any vote, but insisted that a check by the Parliament is necessary as Starmer Press.

When asked if it was essential that deputies should get a vote before troops go to Ukraine, Davey said it was “too early to say. We have always been satisfied with retrospective votes. It is a question of obtaining the balance between Parliament, making his voice heard and the government doing what he thinks needed to protect the kingdom. »»

Davey said he had welcomed Starmer attending Macron’s Mini-Summit in Paris on Monday as a good start. “But we have to do even more,” he said. “For example, it is time for the United Kingdom and Europe to plan to spend frozen Russian assets to protect Ukraine.”

The British defense manager reiterated on Tuesday that a British contingent of peacekeepers must include an American support guarantee – a major challenge given Russia and the United States have already started talks on an agreement for End the war without Ukrainian or European involvement.

Speaking at the Institute for the Government, John Healey said: “European countries must play a main role in this guarantee, but require a safety net in the United States because, in the end, they are only the United States which can provide deterrence to Putin, this will prevent it from attacking again. »»

Starmer hopes to welcome European leaders for a briefing in Great Britain on the situation in Ukraine after meeting Trump in Washington, DC next week.
