Sweden Considers Sending Peacekeepers to Ukraine

Representatives of Sweden stated yesterday that they do not rule out the possibility of sending military forces to Ukraine if it is necessary. Such a step, as noted by the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Rishi Sunak, he is also ready to make. The Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Tobias Billström, announced on the air of public radio "Sveriges": "We initially need to agree on a fair and sustainable peace agreement that adheres to international law. When we come to such a peace agreement, it will need to be maintained, therefore our government does not rule out anything." These statements were made during a meeting of European leaders in Paris, where they discussed plans for US President Donald Trump's administration to start negotiations with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to "very soon" refer to the cessation of hostilities in Ukraine without the participation of Kyiv and Europe.
