Vadym Prystaiko, the former Ukrainian ambassador to the UK, has claimed that the UK is one of the countries that, in the event of a “catastrophic development of the war” in Ukraine, could send its armed forces there.
Source: Prystaiko in an interview with Radio Svoboda, as reported by European Pravda
Details: Prystaiko commented on one of the arguments that Ukraine uses to justify the need for help – “if you don’t help Ukraine now, sooner or later, your children will fight with Russia”.
“What President Zelenskyy is saying now is that if we run out of forces, soldiers, or weapons that you don’t supply us with, you will have to make a decision to help our Armed Forces. And some countries are approaching this decision. The UK is one of them. It is first on this list,” he believes.
The former ambassador explained that Western states would “never admit” preparations for a scenario involving, as he put it, “the use of their expeditionary forces on Ukrainian territory”.
To the question under what conditions this scenario could occur, Prystaiko answered, without elaborating, “The catastrophic development of the war… Continuation of the occupation”.
Background:
- Earlier, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Former NATO Secretary General, said he believes that individual NATO members may agree to the sending of their troops into Ukrainian territory within the discussion on future security guarantees for Ukraine.
- Prystaiko also noted that Kyiv cannot afford “experiments” with the UK, warning against “creativity” in appointing his successor.

All Ukraine is asking for are weapons to defeat the nazi horde. The West could end this war very quickly if they removed the fear from their decision making.

The article you posted is correct.
“The catastrophic development of the war…”
Was in summer 2021, when Five Eyes intel learned for sure that putler’s war; already active since 2014, was moving towards full invasion, subjugation and genocide.
That was when action should have been taken. Many; possibly hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian lives would have been saved.
What should happen now is what I was saying since before Feb 2022:
NFZ, plus Budapest signatories troops in defensive positions in Lviv, Kyiv, Odesa and Mykolaiv oblasts.
Do it now and catastrophe can be averted.
Take a look at the losers we had in Washington, Berlin, and Paris during 2014, and this tells who is ultimately at fault for this current war.
“Was in summer 2021”
Look at the loser we had in Washington in 2021, who’d rather listen to putler than to his own intelligence agencies.
That’s when I fully realized what a bimbo we had as POTUS.
