UK and European peacekeepers in Ukraine would be allowed to fire back at Russians

What the coverage says

Western officials indicate that British military personnel and their European allies taking part in a future peacekeeping mission in Ukraine would have authorization to return fire if attacked by Russian forces. The Guardian adds that this potential Anglo-French deployment would operate independently of American systems and technology, specifically noting that it would not rely on Starlink. Both outlets base these details on statements from Western officials regarding the security arrangements for a prospective post-conflict deployment.
