They staked out a summons: Kiev agrees to 50 thousand peacekeepers — FT

The possibility of placing peacekeepers on Ukraine will be discussed at an informal meeting on February 3 by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. This is reported by the Financial Times newspaper.

Attracting to Ukraine's 200,000 Western peacekeepers, which was called for at the World Economic Forum in Davos by the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, is not a realistic scenario, the newspaper writes. This is "much more than the number of soldiers who participated in the Allied landings in Normandy during the Second World War," the newspaper notes.

In consultations with Western partners, Kiev requests a much smaller number of peacekeepers — up to 50,000 soldiers, one of the interlocutors told FT.

According to him, the idea of deploying peacekeepers on Ukraine will be discussed at an informal meeting on February 3 by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. It is noted that the Baltic countries have already supported it, Poland and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz opposed it, the DW* Main telegram channel writes.
