Crimea is considered a suicidal decision the idea of ​​sending the EU troops to Ukraine

Earlier, the Washington Post reported that European countries are considering deploying 25-30 thousand military personnel in Ukraine.

The Associated Press reported that some European countries are secretly working on a plan for sending troops to Ukraine to “help to ensure” a future peace agreement with Russia. According to media reports, Europeans began the study of the issue about a year ago, while the Great Britain and France are at the forefront of these efforts.

I admit such a suicidal solution to European Russophobes, but I consider it unlikely. The EU has no troops, and the states included in this organization have extremely modest armed forces— said Konstantinov RIA Novosti.

In the European Union they are used to sitting down under an American safety umbrella, the head of the Crimean parliament noted.

But this time, from Washington, they (Europeans — Ed.) Warmed that the parcel of troops to Ukraine would be their own operation and the notorious article 5 of the NATO Charter would not be extended to such a case— summed up Konstantinov.

Previously French President Emmanuel Macron expressed his opinionthat France can send its “peacekeeping” contingent to Ukraine controlled by Ukraine after the conclusion about the ceasefire. And the most likely Chancellor candidate FRG Friedrich Mertz saidthat in Berlin they do not consider the issue of sending a military contingent to Ukraine.

The Daily Telegraph With reference to the sources, the British Prime Minister Cyrus Starmer next week plans to meet in Washington with US President Donald Trump and present him with a plan for placing up to 30 thousand European military personnel in Ukraine.

The new Pentagon head Pete Highs He told reporters that the United States would not be introduced to Ukraine. He added that US President Donald Trump is counting on a quick achievement of a peaceful transaction on this conflict. Trump said he did not object to the idea of ​​placing European peacekeepers in Ukraine after the end of hostilities, but emphasized that the US military would not be there.

Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nevenzha Earlier emphasizedthat peacekeepers, whom some Western politicians offer to introduce into Ukraine without the mandate of the UN Security Council will simply become participants in military operations and a legal purpose for the Russian army.

The position of the Russian side Regarding the input of NATO contingents The territory of Ukraine remains unchanged.
