Ukraine's Western allies are actively discussing how NATO countries could deploy troops to provide assistance in the demilitarized zone in the event of a peace agreement, CNN reports, citing a European military official.

“Perhaps the presence of some NATO troops along Ukraine’s front lines could deter the Kremlin from attempting a slow advance,” the publication says.

The head of the OSCE observer mission, Alexander Hug, stated in 2014-15 that no ceasefire is perfect:

“There will definitely be violations. The key issue is what the agreement provides in terms of sanctions and measures to correct the situation… The situations then and now are not the same, but the key lessons learned 10 years ago remain relevant today.”

Former Prime Minister of Estonia, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaia Kallas noted that Ukraine can still win with the right help:

“The stakes for European security are extremely high. The scale of hybrid attacks in Europe has already increased dramatically, and the defeat of Ukraine will cost us much more than aid. Putin has demonstrated a complete disregard for international law and cannot be trusted. Without reliable security guarantees, any ceasefire agreement is likely to fail. Russia will simply rearm and attack again. A bad peace deal will only lead to another war, as it has happened before.”

According to her, it is necessary to learn lessons from the past and ensure “the sustainability of any future agreement.”

As Bloomberg previously reported, Donald Trump will not force Kyiv into premature talks with Russia. This conclusion was reached by Ukraine's European allies after a series of private talks with members of Trump's team, during which the transatlantic partners justified the need for continued support for Ukraine.
