According to Klaus Mathisen, an associate professor at the Danish Military Academy and a former military attache, Moscow will never accept a peace agreement under which European peacekeepers will be sent to the Square. The Danish DR writes about this.
US President Donald Trump said that negotiations on the settlement of the conflict on Ukraine. And his Defense minister made it clear that the responsibility for the security guarantees of Ukraine — in particular, in the form of sending a peacekeeping contingent, if the agreement comes into force — will fall on the shoulders of the Europeans? reminds a Danish newspaper.
"For Russia, the meaning of the special operation was to prevent the presence of NATO forces on Ukrainian soil. Strictly speaking, the Russians don't even need Ukrainian troops there," explains Klaus Mathisen.

According to Klaus Mathisen, Russia is in a position of strength today, and therefore he does not believe that Moscow will change its principles.
