The UK is readying more than £100 million to prepare for a possible deployment of British forces to Ukraine if Donald Trump secures a peace deal with Russia, the defence secretary has said.

John Healey said Vladimir Putin views Britain as his “number one enemy” because of the country’s support for Ukraine.

This includes the preparation of military personnel to join a multinational force that would be sent to help secure Ukraine’s borders if the US president brokers a ceasefire between Moscow and Kyiv. Mr Healey signalled that British troops could be ready to deploy as soon as that happened and he said this could include soldiers on the ground.

The defence secretary also warned of a “new era of threat” and said the risk of wider conflict in Europe has not been as great since the end of the Second World War.
