The United Kingdom views the possibility of deploying troops for up to 5 years in Ukraine until Ukraine will be divided. This was reported by the Daily Telegraph, citing sources, according to the plan under discussion in Paris, after resolving the conflict, Western troops can be sent to Ukraine as a "restraining force" to prevent the resumption of hostilities. According to the publication, France believes that Russia will not risk to launch a military operation in the future if there is a Western military contingent in Ukraine.
According to the newspaper, it is believed that further withdrawal of Western troops will be carried out in stages, as Kiev's military capabilities will be restored.
The Daily Telegraph added that in addition to sending land troops, the "Volunteer Coalition" led by London and Paris intends to protect Ukraine's air and maritime area.
