Russia warns Starmer’s peacekeeping troops plan would amount to ‘direct war’

Russia has issued a warning to UK Labour leader Keir Starmer, stating that his proposal to send peacekeeping troops to conflict zones around the world would be seen as a direct act of war. The Russian government has expressed concerns that such a move could escalate tensions and lead to further conflict.

The warning comes after Starmer outlined his vision for a new international peacekeeping force during a speech at the Labour Party conference. He called for a more proactive approach to resolving conflicts and promoting peace, including the deployment of British troops to support peacekeeping efforts.

However, Russia has criticized the proposal, arguing that it would violate international law and could potentially lead to military confrontation. The Russian government has urged the UK to reconsider its stance and instead focus on diplomatic solutions to global conflicts.

It remains to be seen how the UK government will respond to Russia’s warning, but Starmer has indicated that he remains committed to his vision for a more assertive and proactive foreign policy.
