Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently suggested the deployment of foreign troops in Ukraine until the country gains NATO membership during a press conference in Kyiv. Zelenskyy emphasized the need for security guarantees to prevent another invasion by Russia after the current conflict. French President Emmanuel Macron had previously raised the idea of European nations sending troops to Ukraine, but no consensus was reached.
Zelenskyy also expressed his intention to discuss Ukraine’s NATO membership with US President Joe Biden in the near future. There has been discussion about the need for a diplomatic resolution to the war in Ukraine to save lives, with Zelenskyy emphasizing the importance of a strong Ukraine both on the battlefield and in diplomatic negotiations.
Amid the ongoing conflict, Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal visited Kyiv to discuss continued support for Ukraine, highlighting Estonia’s commitment to providing assistance. German opposition leader Friedrich Merz also visited Kyiv to learn about the country’s defense needs and express support for Ukraine.
In light of recent developments, there have been calls for stronger support for Ukraine’s defense, including providing the country with the necessary military equipment to effectively combat Russian aggression. Trump’s recent call for an immediate ceasefire and negotiations in Ukraine following his meeting with Zelenskyy and French President Emmanuel Macron has sparked discussions about the way forward in ending the conflict.
