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 expressed hope that Donald Trump could help end the Russia-Ukraine war. After the inauguration ceremony, Trump also said that he would impose sanctions on Russia if Kremlin does not come to the negotiating table for ceasefire.

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.
