Lord Cameron: No Western Troops in Ukraine to Avoid Escalating Conflict with Russia

Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron has ruled out sending Western troops to Ukraine at the Nato summit in Brussels, citing the need to avoid giving Russian President Vladimir Putin a target.
Nato is considering a five-year, 100 billion euro military aid package for Ukraine to strengthen its military and allay concerns over US election outcomes and Nato member contributions.

Lord Cameron emphasized the importance of Nato being in the best possible shape before the US elections.

A diplomat suggested that a proposed financial package for Ukraine may help protect against potential US policy changes under President Trump, but it's impossible to create something completely Trump-proof.

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson is set to visit the US next week to urge Congress for more financial support for Ukraine, which could change the narrative in the country.

Nato must prepare to work with the US election winner, so efforts should be made to strengthen Ukraine's position before November.

If successful in securing financial and military aid, and demonstrating Ukraine's resolve to fight back against Russian aggression, the situation in Ukraine may improve regardless of the US election outcome.

Nato, formed 75 years ago by countries including the UK, US, Canada, and France to counter the Soviet Union, is currently seen as a success due to more members spending 2% of their GDP on defense.

The UK, as a founding member, wants to strengthen Nato and improve Ukraine's situation.

Some Nato members have provided weapons to Ukraine, including long-range missiles from the US and UK, but no troops or air forces have been sent due to the risk of conflict with Russia.

Lord Cameron assured that NATO would defend its members, including Poland and the Baltics, if the Ukrainian conflict spills over their borders, invoking Article 5.

He ruled out sending Western troops into Ukraine to avoid giving Putin a target.

Instead, the UK will provide support through NATO's architecture without engaging in a mission "in Ukraine." Britain has already given over £7bn and trained over 60,000 Ukrainian soldiers.

The foreign secretary called on countries supporting Ukraine to consider donating weapons, stating that it's more cost-effective for them to give the weapons to Ukraine before they expire, rather than decommissioning them at home.

The foreign secretary avoided commenting on the Israel-Gaza conflict during an interview, preferring to focus on Ukraine.
