I feel very deeply the responsibility that comes with potentially putting British servicemen and women in harm&#8217;s way. But any role in helping to guarantee Ukraine&#8217;s security is helping to guarantee the security of our continent, and the security of this country,&#8221; Starmer said, adding that &#8220;U.S. support will remain critical and a U.S. security guarantee is essential for a lasting peace.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The end of this war, when it comes, cannot merely become a temporary pause before Putin attacks again,&#8221; Starmer said.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, a British official confirmed to CBS News that the prime minister would visit Washington at the end of next week, where he will become the first European leader to meet in-person with the president since Mr. Trump moved back into the White House.<\/p>\n<p>Sweden also indicated a willingness Monday to deploy forces to Ukraine to keep an eventual peace, with the country&#8217;s Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard stressing in a radio interview the need to first &#8220;negotiate a fair and sustainable peace that respects international law, that respects Ukraine and that ensures above all else that Russia can&#8217;t just withdraw and regroup and attack Ukraine or another country within a few years.&#8221; \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When we have such a peace in place, it will need to be maintained, and for that our government is not ruling out anything,&#8221; Stenergard said, according to the French news agency AFP.<\/p>\n<p>While other European powers declined to make explicit commitments, calling discussions about deploying peacekeepers to Ukraine premature, Poland&#8217;s Prime Minister Donald Tusk ruled out sending Polish troops to the neighboring nation.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the meeting in France, Tusk did stress that European powers should immediately spend more on defense.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we, Europeans, fail to spend big on defense now, we will be forced to spend 10 times more if we don&#8217;t prevent a wider war,&#8221; Tusk said on social media.<\/p>\n<p>    <!--
