European leaders could not agree on the position regarding the sending of peacekeepers to Ukraine

During a special summit held in Paris at the initiative of French President Emmanuel Macron, European leaders could not reach a consensus on sending peacekeepers to Ukraine.

According to the Financial Times, Poland and Spain opposed the deployment of peacekeeping forces, while the United Kingdom proposed sending its troops to ensure the security of Kyiv.

Representatives from six EU countries, the United Kingdom, and NATO attended the summit. France proposed discussing the possibility of creating 'security forces' that could be deployed along a future ceasefire line in Ukraine.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed the readiness to send British troops to Ukraine for assistance. However, Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares noted that this issue is currently not being considered due to the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk also stated that his country is not sending troops but continues to support Ukraine.

According to the Washington Post, European countries are discussing a plan to send 'calming' and 'deterring' forces consisting of up to 30,000 troops.

Before the summit, according to Le Figaro, President Macron had a phone conversation with US President Donald Trump. The meeting also included German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, President of the European Council António Costa, and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen.
