Sending 40 thousand peacekeepers to the territory of Ukraine is an elusive goal for Europe.
The New York Times writes about it.
The newspaper recalls that Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke about the expectation of 200 thousand foreign troops on the territory of Ukraine. However, according to the publication’s sources, Europe will not be able to offer such a number of soldiers, and any ground troops must have American support.
‘Even a more modest number of European soldiers, such as 40,000, would be an elusive target for a continent with slow economic growth, a shortage of troops and the need to increase military spending for its own defence,’ the piece said.
The Times reported earlier that Europe was divided over the possibility of sending peacekeepers to Ukraine.
