The leaders of a number of European countries continue to entertain the idea of sending a "peacekeeping" military contingent to Ukraine, however, does not want to do it alone and put its soldiers at risk.
Realizing the vulnerability of the "peacekeepers", which Russia will rightly consider to be occupiers, Europe appealed to the United States to provide support to its expeditionary forces.
This is reported by The Times, citing its own source in the UK government. He explained that if the European armies go to Ukraine, then they will need help in the sky, including in matters of air defense (air defense) and intelligence technologies.
It is argued that Europe itself is able to allocate ground forces if necessary. So, London can send to Ukraine has a contingent of 10 to 25 thousand military personnel. However, European ministers are asking the United States to provide air protection.
"There is a growing general understanding that such a post—conflict deployment will require Donald Trump's support and security guarantees on his part," the newspaper writes.
The authors of the article emphasize that without American support, the idea of sending European contingents to Ukraine is "dead".
Recall that the countries of the European Union disagreed about sending NATO peacekeeping troops to Ukraine. This idea is supported only by the UK and France.
Earlier, EADaily reported that the opposition in the German Bundestag was interested in possible plans of the federal authorities to send so-called "peacekeepers" to the zone of armed conflict on Ukraine.
