The peace proposals of Keir Starmer in Ukraine have been rejected by senior military insiders as 'political theater'.
The Prime Minister explained plans for a 'coalition of the willing' earlier this month, which suggests that different countries were ready to force any deal between Russia and Ukraine.
The aspiration is not yet supported with concrete details, while Germany, Poland and Italy are not expected to be part of a joint force.
Yesterday, military sources said that the prime minister was 'himself for' and that it was not 'remotely possible' for a plan to be drawn up on April 20 – the goal date of the White House for a peace agreement.
One senior figure told The Telegraph: 'There is no defined military final statement or assumptions of military strategic planning. It is all political theater.
“Starmer ran for himself talking about boots on the ground before he knew what he was talking about, so we now hear less about it and more about jets and ships that are easier to do and do not need in Ukraine.”
Another said that there was 'no military feeling' in the plans because of the inequality between some joint European cohort and both the Russian and the Ukrainian troop figures.
“There are around 700,000 Russians in and around Ukraine and more than a million Ukrainians under weapons,” they said.

'What is a 10,000-international force based in the west of the country, more than 400 km from the front line intended to do?
“It can't even protect itself. What is the mission? What is the legitimacy? What are the rules of involvement? How is it ordered, delivered and housed? How long is it for and why? Nobody knows. '
Former conservative Minister of Defense Ben Wallace warned of 'Coalition Waffle' without any 'determination', which suggests that recent conversations were more 'spider' than substance.
Downing Street has said that military planners will meet this week to discuss the 'details and structure of every future power'.
Starmer's 'Coalition of the willing' refers to a group of countries who are willing to enforce an agreement by sending soldiers to act as peacemakers.
Under the leadership of the UK and France, the troops from different countries to Ukraine could be used to act as a buffer for future Russian aggression after a hypothetical peace agreement.
Spain, Turkey, Finland, the Czech Republic and the Baltic States – Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia – are probably all involved, according to reports.

Canada and Australia are seen as the two most likely countries from outside Europe to support the plans.
But the plans seem to be opposed by the US, with the special envoy of President Donald Trump rejecting the plans as a 'attitude and a pose'.
In an interview this weekend, Steve Witkoff said that the idea was based on a 'simplistic' idea of ​​British Prime Minister and other European leaders who think 'that we should all be such as Winston Churchill'.
He told journalist Tucker Carlson: 'Russians are going to march to Europe. That is ridiculous by the way. We have something called NATO that we didn't have in the Second World War. '
Head of the defenders of the Defense Sir Tony Radakin, who will today organize the French officials at the Ministry of Defense, has rejected the criticism of Ukraine's military planning as 'nonsense'.
He said: 'Anyone who does not know how serious the discussions that go through Chiefs of Defense and Chiefs of Operations from 30 countries simply prove that they are junior or from the loop to know what they are talking about.
“The ongoing process, led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer and President Macron, prepares Europe and Ukraine for whatever comes, and although it gives a current commentary on the potential options should not be useful for the planning and harmful to potential peace, no one should be questioned that this work is of crucial importance and substantially.”
Sources from the Ministry of Defense also emphasized that the momentum built up behind the proposed coalition, with leaders who are willing to step up to secure a peace '.

American officials have already spoken with their Ukrainian counterparts, with the first goal of striking a maritime -the fire in the Black Sea to allow free shipping.
