Zelenskyy Says Possible Deployment of US Peacekeepers in Ukraine Is Up to Washington

“Of course, we are discussing this with President Trump and representatives of the Coalition of the Willing. We would like this. It would be a strong position in terms of security guarantees,” Zelenskyy stated.

Previously, French President Emmanuel Macron had announced that France will host a meeting of the so-called Coalition of the Willing in Paris in early January, where participating countries are expected to finalize their concrete contributions to Ukraine’s security framework.
