Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausda has expressed readiness to deploy troops to Ukraine as part of a potential peacekeeping mission once a ceasefire is in place.
Source Nausda in an interview with Bloomberg, as reported by European Pravda Details Nausda stated that his country is ready to provide the necessary support.
We are talking about very concrete numbers of our military troops, but there should be commitment from all countries in this coalition to provide this support, he said.
The Lithuanian leader credited US President Donald Trump for his frank intentions to end Russias war in Ukraine.
So far Russia is imitating the negotiations, talking about a possible peace and possible ceasefire, but they are not even ready to keep the ceasefire as promised not to attack, not to strike critical infrastructure, Nausda added.
Background On 20 March, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer stressed the need to guarantee any potential agreement to end the war in Ukraine, as Russia would otherwise violate it.
In this context, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy stated that Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin would not have a veto over the potential deployment of foreign troops in Ukraine.
The Telegraph wrote that French President Emmanuel Macron is considering alternatives to his plan for a peacekeeping mission for Ukraine, which he had jointly developed with Starmer.
