Peacekeeping mission in Ukraine
Recently, European countries and the United States have been discussing the idea of sending peacekeepers to Ukraine as a security guarantee.
As stated by the head of the Center for Applied Political Studies Penta Volodymyr Fesenko, Russia may not agree to such a format if the peacekeeping forces include soldiers from European countries.
At the same time, Trump has repeatedly stated that European countries need to take the leading role and send peacekeepers to the country.
However, Trump himself does not plan to involve American troops in this process.
