Voters in Denmark, one of Ukraine's largest military donors, are in favor of sending a military contingent to the country after the war ends, Bloomberg reports.
According to a Ritzau survey, 53% of respondents stated that Denmark should participate in any future deployment of soldiers. Around 15% were opposed, while 32% were undecided or had no opinion.
A majority of 66% also said that Ukraine should join the European Union, and 68% stated that the country should become part of NATO.
Denmark, a country with a population of 6 million, has donated $7.55 billion in military aid since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who is also increasing investments in domestic defense, stated that it is too early to discuss peacekeepers, although she is supportive of the UK's plans.
On February 21, she held talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to reaffirm her country's support.
The survey, conducted by Voxmeter for Ritzau, included 1,021 interviews between February 18 and 20.
A relative majority of Germans (49%) support deploying Bundeswehr forces as part of potential peacekeeping missions in Ukraine to monitor a ceasefire agreement. At the same time, 44% opposed it, and 7% were undecided.
Earlier, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that he would be willing to send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine if necessary. Poland, however, opposes such a move.
