President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky believes that any peacekeeping force, if deployed in Ukraine, should include US troops. This will be the key to their effectiveness.

Zelensky said this in an interview with Bloomberg. According to him, European allies do not have enough soldiers to be a realistic deterrent to dictator Vladimir Putin, and any other solution risks causing divisions within NATO.

"This cannot happen without the United States. Even if some European friends think it is possible, no, it cannot be. No one will take any risks without the United States," the president explained.

According to Bloomberg, Zelensky is now seeking the support of the United States, our most important ally, as the diplomatic push to end the fighting in Ukraine "gathers momentum."

"He was angered by the idea, expressed on Tuesday, that military support from his European allies would be enough," the article says.

Zelensky also named the minimum number of peacekeeping troops that could prevent another Russian attack. The head of state noted that it is at least 200 thousand military personnel.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke about the possibility of deploying peacekeepers on the territory of Ukraine - this issue is currently being discussed with several key international partners, including France and Poland. However, Ukraine needs serious security guarantees.
