Сколько миротворцев ЕС сможет направить в Украину и когда это будет реализовано?
European countries are discussing the possibility of sending peacekeeping forces to Ukraine to stabilize the situation. The initiative was proposed by French President Emmanuel Macron, but negotiations are still in the early stages.

The potential deployment of peacekeepers to Ukraine is reported by Glavpost, citing “All News”.

European leaders emphasize the need to increase military and economic assistance to Ukraine, seeing no willingness from Russia to make concessions. However, diplomatic circles do not rule out the possibility of establishing an international peacekeeping mission.

Estimates of the number of peacekeeping forces vary from 40,000 to 100,000 military personnel, depending on the specific mission and rotation scheme. Italy has stated that it is ready to join the mission only after hostilities cease, while other countries call for action under the auspices of the UN, although this could grant Russia excessive influence.

The USA has distanced itself from the idea of participation, leaving the role of peacekeepers to European countries. Discussions are ongoing, and the implementation of such an initiative will largely depend on consensus within the EU. Most likely, peacekeepers will be engaged only after certain peace agreements are reached.

Separately, we remind you that “the number of Russian soldiers in Ukraine has increased by 100,000,” – Syrskiy on how the Armed Forces of Ukraine will respond.
