Discussions about a possible deployment of peacekeepers to Ukraine are premature at the moment, as a ceasefire and peace agreement should be achieved in the first place, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto told Sputnik. French President Emmanuel Macron initially proposed deploying peacekeeping forces in Ukraine, along with training the Ukrainian Armed Forces within the country. However, most EU countries are hesitant. Italy stated participation would be contingent on the end of hostilities. Finland also urged caution. Germany's defense minister indicated willingness to discuss deployment, but only if Russia agrees.

Discussions About Peacekeepers in Ukraine 'Totally Impossible' at This Point, Says European Diplomat
UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) - European leaders are reportedly discussing with Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky the possibility of a peacekeeping mission in the country, an initiative proposed by French President Emmanuel Macron.
Discussions about a possible deployment of peacekeepers to Ukraine are premature at the moment, as a
ceasefire and peace agreement should be achieved in the first place,
Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto told
Sputnik.
"I think that that's all about the future, so sequencing is very important. First, we have to create ceasefire, then start peace negotiations and come to a peace agreement, and whatever is enshrined in such a peace agreement should be done accordingly, so whether to send peacekeepers or not, to make a serious opinion on that now is totally impossible," Szijjarto said in an interview.
French President Emmanuel Macron initially proposed deploying peacekeeping forces in Ukraine, along with training the Ukrainian Armed Forces within the country.
However, most EU countries are hesitant. Italy stated participation would be contingent on the end of
hostilities. Finland also urged caution. Germany's defense minister indicated willingness to discuss deployment, but only if Russia agrees.
