Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has emphasised the necessity of deploying at least 200,000 European peacekeepers to prevent another Russian aggression against Ukraine following a ceasefire agreement.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who is seeking a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, said on Tuesday that at least 200,000 European peacekeepers would be needed to prevent a new Russian attack after any ceasefire deal.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that at least "200,000 allied troops" would be necessary to enforce a peace agreement in Ukraine. He urged European nations to act independently without waiting for decisions from Donald Trump.

From all the Europeans? 200,000, it's a minimum. It's a minimum, otherwise it's nothing,' Zelenskyy said when asked about the idea of a peacekeeping contingent.
