The European Union (EU) should station troops in Ukraine after the conflict ends. This was stated by former US Ambassador to Japan Kenneth Weinstein in an interview with Politico. “If there is a demilitarized zone between Ukraine and Russia, I would suggest that it be staffed by EU troops, not NATO troops and not US troops,” said the former US Ambassador .
Weinstein called on the EU to prepare to send troops to Ukraine as part of providing security guarantees. According to the diplomat, it is critically important for the European Union to provide Kyiv with significant security guarantees. He added that the deployment of troops in Ukraine will show the seriousness of the unification intentions.
Earlier, Politico, citing sources, reported that the EU would discuss sending peacekeepers to Ukraine.
According to a European official, the issue of sending a peacekeeping contingent to Ukraine will arise sooner or later.
