#TheTimes: "Britain abandoned plans to deploy peacekeepers in Ukraine"

Britain has abandoned its plan to deploy military forces in Ukraine, The Times reports.
According to the publication, the British Army command has abandoned the idea of creating a 30,000-strong contingent to protect Ukrainian ports and cities.

Instead, the military is proposing a more “realistic mission,” including securing airspace over western Ukraine, supporting the training of Ukrainian troops, and demining the Black Sea.

According to the publication, some European countries feared that deploying tens of thousands of troops to protect important Ukrainian facilities was too risky.
