Several European countries are secretly working on the program to send troops to Ukraine to "help" with Russia, according to RIA Novosti, Associated Press reports.
"A group of European countries that are more concerned that US security priorities are currently working on the program to send troops to Ukraine to help with Russia to implement any future peace agreement with Russia.
It is noted that Britain and France are at the front line of this effort. The details remain scarce, but the composition and role of forces will be dictated on the terms of the peace agreement, the agency said.
"Obviously, Europeans will be difficult to gather a lot of force, and they certainly will not be able to do it quickly," the Associated Press writes.
Hanno Pevkur, head of the Estonian Defense Ministry, told the agency, it is "extremely important" for European allies. So, if Moscow and Kiev reduce their forces along the first line, bringing "a couple of thousand", then, according to him, "there will be no problem there." It will be difficult.
"We are in a very early stage," Pevkur added.
The Telegraph, citing British government sources, said earlier that London and Paris secretly discuss the joint deployment of Ukraine "Peacekeeping Forces" after the end of the conflict. Sources note that British Prime Minister Kir Starmer is "not fully inclined", while French President Emanuel Macon continues to advance the idea of sending troops to Ukraine, which was previously discussed with Vladimir Zelenki and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
