The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, called for the deployment of at least 200,000 military personnel from European countries to ensure the security of Ukraine and to prevent a possible new invasion in the event of a ceasefire agreement with Russia.
According to him, this is the minimum number, otherwise it has no meaning. The statement was made in a video, published in Kyiv in the media. This is the first time a senior Ukrainian official has officially stated the need for such a deployment, although the idea has been discussed with Western partners in secret for several months.
Recently, Zelenskyy participated in the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and in an interview said: "200,000 is the minimum, that is the minimum, otherwise it has no meaning."
