President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the deployment of partner contingents in Ukraine is one of the best tools to compel russia to peace. He made this statement at the 25th meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group at the Ramstein Air Base in Germany on Thursday, January 9, according to NV.
"Last year, France proposed the idea of deploying partner contingents in Ukraine — and you know this — to bring peace closer. And we all understand: putin's goals have not changed to this day. He wants to completely destroy Ukraine and break all of us, including you. Therefore, our goal is to find as many tools as possible to compel russia to peace", - he emphasized.
Zelensky underscored that the deployment of foreign contingents is one of the best tools and called on partners to act decisively to realize this idea.
"Let us approach this more practically so that it becomes possible. And we have also heard signals from some of our partners — from the United Kingdom — in support of this. We must be bold, and we must propose truly strong tools", - Zelensky added.
It should be noted that on January 3, Bundestag MP from the CDU, Roderich Kiesewetter, stated his support for introducing peacekeepers into Ukraine. According to him, there is no other alternative.
