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.
