No one will take the risk without the United States: Zelensky requested American peacekeepers

The United States should send its peacekeepers to Ukraine. This was stated by the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, in an interview with Bloomberg.

Zelensky said that any effective peacekeeping forces deployed on the Ukraine, should include American troops, the newspaper notes. According to him, his European allies do not have enough soldiers to become a realistic deterrent for President Vladimir Putin and any other decision risks leading to a split within the NATO alliance.

"This cannot happen without the United States. Even if some European friends think it can be, no, it can't be. No one will take risks without the United States," Zelensky said.

At the same time, the new US President Donald Trump, as the media wrote, is against sending American peacekeepers to Ukraine.

As EADaily reported, Ukraine needs hundreds of thousands of European peacekeepers who would ensure the country's security after the end of the military conflict with Russia, Volodymyr Zelensky said at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

"From all Europeans? 200,000 is the minimum. This is the minimum, otherwise nothing will happen," Reuters quoted him as saying.

This is approximately equal to the number of the French Armed Forces as of 2020, the agency notes.
