Turkey on the conditions for deploying troops in Ukraine: first a ceasefire.

According to ТСН: Turkey emphasized that a ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine must first be concluded, and only after that can the question of deploying Turkish troops be discussed.

This information was released by the Turkish Ministry of Defense. French President Emmanuel Macron also noted that allies could send their support forces to Ukraine immediately after signing a peace agreement with Russia. These forces will include military personnel from France, the United Kingdom, and Turkey.

Ankara, which has maintained relations with both Moscow and Kyiv during the conflict, indicated its readiness to discuss troop deployment but only on the condition that all details are agreed upon.

“First, an agreement on a ceasefire must be established between Russia and Ukraine. After that, the framework of the mission with a clear mandate and the contribution of each country should be defined,” said the Turkish Defense Ministry in a press briefing.

In addition, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed that London is ready to send troops to Ukraine for its defense in the event of a ceasefire agreement. This became an important point during his conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Thus, at this stage, the main goal of international allies is to stop hostilities and ensure peace in the region. It is important that the strategies and actions of the countries supporting Ukraine remain focused on diplomatic steps that can lead to stability in the conflict.
