Türkiye is likely considering sending its peacekeeping troops to Ukraine, according to Milliyet.
“Sources from the Ministry of National Defense made a statement regarding the news that Turkish troops will be sent to Ukraine as part of the Peacekeeping Forces,” the media writes.
Turkish peacekeepers in Ukraine
Bloomberg recently reported that Türkiye could send its military to Ukraine. But its military will not participate in any peacekeeping mission unless it is involved in all consultations and preparations for its formation.
Turkish companies will also help rebuild Ukraine. The country has already handed over reconstruction projects to Türkiye, which are scheduled for 2025, and tenders for the projects will be announced in April-May.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump said he was not against the possible deployment of European troops to Ukraine as part of a “peace agreement”.
Canada is also considering all possible options for maintaining peace in Ukraine, including sending Canadian troops as part of a foreign contingent.
The media also recently reported that Europe was developing a plan to send soldiers to Ukraine. According to the press, Ukraine's partners are ready to send up to 30,000 troops.
