Macron wants to send 40 NATO soldiers to Ukraine: his plan has been revealed

On Thursday, December 12, French President Emmanuel Macron will arrive in Warsaw to discuss with the Polish side the peacekeeping mission, which is supposed to protect Ukraine's sovereignty in case of signing an agreement with Russia.

Former Deputy Secretary General of NATO Camille Grand told Rzeczpospolita that during the meeting with the newly elected US President Donald Trump, the French leader could have informed about Europe's readiness to take on the risk of protecting Ukrainian sovereignty.

France actively offers to send a peacekeeping mission to the country, which will ensure that the occupiers do not violate the ceasefire. The project of this mission is being developed by the French Institute of International Relations. His expert Eli Tenenbaum reported that the military contingent may number five brigades (about 40 servicemen). Command of one brigade could be given to Poland.

Currently, there are only three ways of providing security guarantees to Ukraine. The United States of America and Germany oppose the "German" proposal, which provides for the country's entry into the North Atlantic Alliance while part of its territories are under occupation. The "Israeli" model is uncertain, since the constant supply of weapons to Ukraine will depend on the state of the US and European budgets:

The third is the "Korean" model: an international peacekeeping mission that has been guarding the demarcation line between South and North Korea for over 70 years. It is on this third model, with the inclusion of elements of the first and second, that security guarantees for Kyiv should be based."

Grand believes that it is important to involve as many countries and states as possible in such a mission, even if their participation is only symbolic. He predicts that Germany and the Netherlands may support this idea after the elections.

Sending troops to Ukraine

According to Western media, the newly elected US President Donald Trump is considering the creation of a buffer zone on the Russian-Ukrainian front, which will be controlled by the military forces of European countries.

It was reported that London and Paris are already discussing how they can protect Ukraine if a peace agreement is signed to end the war.
