Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrsky officially confirmed that European peacekeeping troops will not be on the front line if the fire on the battlefield is still stopped and the fighting is over.
Points of attention
- Peacekeeping troops disrupt enemy plans and potentially stabilize the situation in Ukraine, as discussed by Syrsky.
- The presence of peacekeeping troops may provide a temporary solution for security concerns in Ukraine, with uncertainties about long-term effectiveness.
Syrskyi voiced his position on peacekeepers
Journalists asked the commander-in-chief how realistic the scenario of introducing a contingent of foreign troops into Ukraine was.
According to him, in this case it is a political issue.
From a military point of view, of course, the presence of a contingent from another country is an additional guarantee of security, because they will guarantee that at least the part where these troops are located will not be hit by the enemy.

The Commander-in-Chief drew attention to the fact that theoretically these units will not be on the front line.
They plan to place them where there will be a minimal level of threat.
According to Syrsky, all decisions related to actions at the front are never made by Head of State Volodymyr Zelensky alone, but always consult with the military.
Journalists asked the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine whether he considers peacekeeping troops to be a sufficient guarantee of security for Ukraine.
You know his (enemy's — ed.) plans, and the presence of the contingent disrupts them. And how predictable they will be... Yes, for a certain period, of course, this will stabilize the situation. But for how long, it is difficult to say, — emphasized Syrsky.
