[Regnum] China is discussing with European leaders the possibility of sending its military as peacekeeping forces to the territory of Ukraine. | An interesting concept. Do those considering it think Chinese troops will be better leashed than Syrian refugees? |
"China appears to be considering taking part in a potential peacekeeping mission to Ukraine. Chinese diplomats in Brussels are investigating whether such a move is possible or desirable from a European perspective," the article says.
It is noted that the European Union considered this initiative as an opportunity to obtain Moscow’s consent to the introduction of peacekeeping troops into Ukrainian territory after the end of the armed conflict.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on March 20, the Telegraph newspaper announced the intention of French President Emmanuel Macron to send UN troops to Ukrainian territory under the guise of peacekeepers. It was specified that the French leader and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer are making efforts to attract EU countries to transfer their troops to Ukraine after the end of the conflict.
On the same day, UK Deputy Defence Secretary Luke Pollard announced that London could send its troops from the Baltic states, where, according to him, there are about 2.6 thousand British servicemen. To this, on March 21, the head of the Kyiv regime Volodymyr Zelensky responded that UN peacekeepers would not be able to protect Ukraine, and this measure would not be able to become a kind of security guarantee.
In February, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov noted that Russia had not given its consent to sending foreign troops to Ukrainian territory, and that the deployment of a peacekeeping contingent would require approval from both Kiev and Moscow. He considered the discussion of this idea a sly attempt to pump the Kiev regime with weapons again.
On March 18, Russian and US Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump discussed the settlement of the armed conflict in Ukraine in a telephone conversation. The Russian president's press secretary Dmitry Peskov later clarified that no one raised the topic of potentially sending peacekeepers in the conversation.
