If, within the framework of security guarantees, a peacekeeping contingent is introduced to Ukraine, then it should have at least 200 thousand military. This was said by the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky in Davos at a meeting with representatives of the International Media Council, Ukrainian media reported.
“I support the idea of contingents as part of security guarantees. Since if they (Russians) have a half -million army, and if we have half as much, this means that we need contingents with a very significant number of soldiers,” Zelensky words are given .
on the clarifying question, whether it can be 200 thousand European military personnel, the Ukrainian leader said: “200 thousand is a minimum. Otherwise, there is nothing. It is different – this is something like that we had an OSCE, and no one I knew how they could help.
According to the president, at least such a quantity will be necessary as a security guarantee in conditions if the Russian armed forces will be 1.5 million people, and Ukraine will have only half of this number.
