Is it possible to deploy peacekeepers in Ukraine? Here's what the authorities have to say about it.

In Donald Trump's peace plan for Ukraine, which will eventually be revealed in some form, the idea of introducing peacekeepers will be included, specifically noting that these peacekeepers should be from Europe.

This was reported by RBK-Ukraine, citing sources from the highest military-political leadership in Ukraine.

As highlighted in the RBK-Ukraine article, this aligns perfectly with Trump's concept that "the security of Europe is the responsibility of Europeans themselves."

According to sources, Ukraine currently has a rather lukewarm attitude towards this idea. The introduction of peacekeepers essentially equates to agreeing to a "frozen conflict" for an indefinite period, which is unacceptable to us.

There are also purely practical challenges— the contact line is far too extensive to manage, much larger than, for instance, in Korea or Lebanon.

Moreover, it is uncertain whether major European countries would readily agree to send a significant contingent of their forces to Ukraine, where they would face substantial risks. The scope of the peacekeeping mission could potentially be expanded by involving third countries and placed under a UN mandate, possibly including contingent forces from Bangladesh or Argentina—but for now, this remains an exclusively theoretical scenario.

Recall that, according to sources from RBK-Ukraine, as of now, it is unclear what "Donald Trump's plan for Ukraine" entails. However, by the inauguration on January 20, Trump's team aims to have a ready solution for Ukraine, so that upon gaining real authority, they can implement it as quickly as possible.

Previously, Western media published various versions of Trump's plan. In particular, The Telegraph reported that Trump may call on European and British forces to establish a 1200 km buffer zone between the Ukrainian and Russian troops.
