Is this the end of all peace plans in the Ukraine war? One idea was to have a negotiated peace monitored by European troops on the ground. The Kremlin clearly rejected such speculation on Thursday! According to this, according to the government in Moscow, sending European peacekeepers to Ukraine would mean entering into a "direct armed conflict" with Russia. "It is absolutely unacceptable for us that military units of other countries are stationed in Ukraine under any flag," said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, threatening that Russia would respond with "all available means." Ukraine wants its European allies to station military "contingents" on Ukrainian territory if the conflict, which has now lasted for three years, ends, to protect the country from future Russian attacks. France and Great Britain have proposed sending peacekeepers. "Whether a foreign contingent or a military base... all this would mean the involvement of these countries in a direct armed conflict with our country," Zakharova said. Ukraine recently expressed its support for a US plan for a 30-day ceasefire. US negotiators are now expected to present the plan to Russia.
